Quiet Mornings

I have almost aways been the first person to get up in my house, at least since I finished uni. The first half hour or more of being on my own is the time I ease myself into the day. I often read or put together these posts. On holiday, as I am now, the early starts give me a lot of time just to relax into myself and my surroundings.

This morning I got up just before 6.30 and came out to the lounge and kitchen area of the static caravan we are staying in. I made myself a cup of tea and settled down to read my new book, bought especially for the holiday, by Eve Plumb called Happiness Included Jan Brady and Beyond. I used to be a huge Brady Bunch fan as a kid and Jan was my favourite character. It’s a lovely trip down memory lane and the perfect book to start the day with. I have just made myself a second cup of tea and I will return to the book after I have posted this. When Janet is awake I will make her a coffee and, after some yoga, do her some breakfast. I can’t have breakfast until I have been awake for at least a couple of hours as my stomach tends to feel very heavy if I do.

Some mornings are of course much more intense but that makes the quiet mornings much more appreciated. As Eve Plumb says Happiness Included!
