I'm a morning person, through and through. My favorite morning routine lately is to get up at 6:30, start a load of laundry, put the coffee on, start a fire and sit in front of it to read and pray. Then it's outside to visit my horses and dogs. I like being outside in the still morning--no children awake, no tractors running. The rule at my house is absolute quiet until 8 am. . . when the children trickle out of their rooms, they come and say hello, give me a hug, and sit somewhere for awhile to wake up. By the time 8 am rolls around, we are all ready to start the day--we have eased into it, rather than being overtaken by it.
It hasn't always been this way for me. This new serenity is a welcome change that has happened over the last couple months. At first it was hard to drag myself out of bed. Now I wake up immediately, jealous for my quiet alone time. Amazing what happened when I started making time with HIM more important than my own comfort, lying in bed. :)

I struggle with making it out of bed at 7:30 right now. I used to be such morning person, and I still am once I am up, but so many nights with my fibromyalgia, I lie in bed for hours in pain, don't sleep for any length at a time, and so I finally start to sleep really well at about 6:00. I hate that it's so hard to want to get up for me right now. I make myself at 7:30, but it is truly a battle for me most mornings. I am glad that you enjoy that time! I wish I could be that way too.
