Rise and shine, that's the best way to define this certain daily process or routine of our lives. We all wake up depending of what time. Though for all of us, we have different rituals, habits that we do as soon as we get up from that bed and start to do the first thing that we always do during this time. You, what is the first thing you do when you wake up? Me, I pray and ask for forgiveness and guidance from the Lord above, and most of all I thank Him for another beautiful and blessed day.

I usually get the coffee going and then hit the bathroom when I wake up in the morning. But seeing as I do not sleep at night these days my routine has since changed to when i wake up later on in the day.

Coffee is great in the morning. Preferrably black no sugar and cream. Yum. Thanks for sharing.

The first thing that I do when I wake up is call my husband in Arizona, and talk to him for a while. He's just retired, and is looking into flying up here, but until the plans are made, he's stuck down there. His phone was screwed up this morning, so unfortunately I didn't get to talk to him. AARRGGHH!!

The first I do when I get up, is I get my kids up and get myself a cup of coffee. I need that one cup to be able to function the rest of the day! Then I change 3 diapers and play with my kids till about 8 or so. Then I make breakfast and continue on with our day! Sometimes my day starts earlier and sometimes it starts later, but I always have to have the one cup of coffee, so it can wake me up even more!

When I wake up I firstly go to loo. I have this habit of drinking 2 glasses of water every night and then go to loo in morning..though the morning thing comes automatically.. lol And then I just like seeing my mom's face. I search for every where in my house. some times I find her cooking, sometimes in the balcony drying the clothes or reading news paper.. I just love to have some one who belongs to me in morning.. The feeling that you are not alone. And one more reason is there to it that she leaves for her office in morning, yes with my dad. The third thing will be reading my news paper.

Nice habit you got there. That is so sweet of you to look for your mum just to see her face. Wish my mum is here too, but she's been gone for 10 years now and I only see her when we talk online via webcam. Thanks and have a great day.

Hi! The first thing I would do when I wake up is stretch my body languidly while in the bed before getting up and head to the bathroom to pee. :) Simple as that..

The first thing I do after opening my eyes is opening my laptop and checking stuffs online and I do that without getting out of bed yet. After checking my mail, my downloads, mylot and ciao, I'm now ready to get out of bed and wash my face and grab a cup of coffee before getting my laptop again.

when i wake up the first movement that i make is to move mt hand towards the right desk and grab the watch,cellphone and spectacles and then when my feet touch the floor i thank God that He gave me a new day and another chance to make some good deeds and help others and sitting there i think of what i have to do today, any appointment, commitment or have to say sorry to someone and then i go on to do them and with my regular routine of the day and then i lay on the bed to sleep i think of the things i did good and bad in the day and make a promise to myself not to repeat them and say sorry to those whom i hurt and go to sleep.

As I don't have a wall clock in my bedroom, thus the first thing I do is to check the time on my cellphone. I want to know what is the time when I woke up. That is important. I will plan on my pace for the rest of activities base on this.

Normally go to the bathroom, wash face, brush teeth and then have breakfast. Sometimes turn pc on to be used later, during breakfast. I respect you for that praying to God first thing, hopefully it will inspire me to make more effort to do so - i believe it is very important.

Yah it dosen't have to be a full prayer. You can say or greet God as simple as "Good Morning and Thanks you for a wonderful day"..and that's it. Thanks and happy posting. Try it, it makes your day beautiful.
