oh, what a beautiful morning

My life yesterday ... Jimmy wakes up at 6:15, pops right out of bed, says prayers, showers, makes breakfast, gets the kids up... while Heather sleeps in until 7 or 7:15 when she finally realizes she is doomed to have to arise. She goes downstairs, grumbles at everyone until they all leave and she recuperates by 8. Not good people!

Well - not so this morning. I got up at 6:15 and decided that I should start practicing my Joyful Morning idea. Jimmy had a meeting at 7 a.m. (who plans a meeting at 7 a.m.? - oh yeah, Mr. pop-out-of-bed-in-the-morning husband). It took 15 minutes to find my work out clothes and dust the treadmill, but I got a nice 20 minute walk in. And this is the important part - I actually feel joy in the morning. It's quiet while the tots sleep. But tis time to wake them up.

Joy in the morning - Check.
Joy in accomplishment of exercising - Check.

It's going to be a beautiful, ordinary day!
