Morning Memories
One of the reasons I believe in the importance of a good morning routine comes from my childhood. My parents got up every morning at 5:30 am. My mom would light a candle and make coffee. They would chat, plan the day, my mom would write a list or two… or three. They would read the bible and pray.
Every morning this could be counted on. My mom loved sitting by the window, watching the sun come up, and birds at the feeders or in the trees. My dad was more active and pretty soon he’d be outside… This routine gave their lives a consistency, a deep thread of continuity, and a certain integrity. Things I have longed for and fought against for most of my life.
What about you? What morning routines did you grow up with? What examples did you see modeled in your formative years? Are there pieces of things that you remember that you’d like to include today? Pieces that have somehow wormed their way into your mornings that you’d like to throw away? Is there some way to take the unwanted parts of your current routine and turn them into something different? Something better?
