I love this Meg. It's got a propulsive flow. Thanks for sharing your morning output. (on a technical note, I think you may have a typo in this early line: "Try things on and put them pack on the rack...")

Thanks for this, Meg. I really needed it this morning.

Oh Meg I cannot do 5:30. Had to get up at 6am two days in a row for work and it wrecked me. I'm an early bird but also a night owl, and the night owl usually wins :))))))

Going for a tai chi class after a day of work and even little bit of writing.

So perfect. Reminders that for some reason we keep needing to be reminded of.

What is a sleeping house? I think I need one of those.

A lovely shopping list of good advice! Today I choose to "Be grateful" and "Be kind". I will add to the list "Turn off the noise." and "Keep your eyes open." Thanks for the reminders, Meg. You managed to do yoga AND write something like this BEFORE the kids got up? That is amazing..

It’s only January 98th and this gives me a healthy nudge to get through the last 42 hours of today. Thankya!

Lovely, Meg. I read this in the middle of a chaotic morning at school and it gave me a few minutes of respite. Very much needed - thank you for the gift and gentle reminders! πŸ™

Great reminders! My list will include Be Gentle, with others, with myself, and with my heart. (Something I am finally working on with myself.)
