What is the first thing on your mind when you wake up?

I do that, too, I always check to see the time when I first wake up, because I have to call the bus service for a ride to work by seven o'clock.

Every morning one of the first things I consume is a few cups of tea. Lately, I have been going for white tea flavored with vanilla and coconut, and then a cup of mint tea. Yet I understand about the caffeine, too. Coffee is usually my next mission. I flavor it with sweetener and milk though to get the flavor I desire. Mornings are time to take care of me. And when I wake up, I am picky about what I want to drink or eat. I usually go for oatmeal with a fruit or a bowl of cereal with fruit. And of course, milk heated up and sweetened with cinnamon and sweetener!

LMFAO luckily I am the only one up at the time I get up usually AND we have two bathrooms so thats not an issue anymore LOL..though it use to be!

I can relate. I usually have to run to the bathroom, too.

Hi Ravenladyj, Some go for coffee first thing in the morning, and others for ciggies. I know people who go for both first thing in the morning. Whatever works, and each to her own, right?

I think the same thing in the morning, why! I also wish the day would start at eleven o'clock. That would be cool, for that is when the bus service usually picks me up for work at the sushi restaurant. At least I have the mornings to visit Mylot!

I am in a routine, but I think of things in the morning in a certain order, once I complete those tasks. For instance, once I have my tea and coffee, I usually begin looking for breakfast. Then I'll stay on the computer for awhile, and then I'll get a shower. You have a nice day, too, shadow41.

I have two alarms set just in case, too! My alarm clock is the first thing to go off, then my cell phone alarm. Yet I brought coffee to bed, I know I'd spill it! lol

I also have a feeling of gratititude for a new day. Everyday we wake up is another beautiful day to live, and see what the day brings us! I usually start to get muddled by the end of the day though.

I wish I always felt that way in the morning, but unfortunately, I do not. I can be kind of grumpy with the routine of work, work, work, but it is something we all have to do, if we are lucky enough to have a job or go to school, yes?

You are almost there as you aware that you are fortunate to have a job and that thought itself can make you stay in the attitude of gratitude!

Hello dana820! I usually reach for my alarm clock to turn it off, and the second thing I reach for is my cell phone, to turn off the alarm. Then I reach for coffee or tea, then breakfast. All the while, I am watching television on wwitv.com, the Fox Channel or Msnbc, to find out what is going on in the world.
