Take 5

Monday mornings can be a difficult time to face the world…especially on cold winter days like today.

Keeping in mind that we’re all hoping to survive countless of these days, I figured it may help to list out five wonderful moments that happen each and every day I decide to haul myself out of bed. Yours may be entirely different but I bet if you really think about it, you’ll have no trouble coming up with your own highlights.

1) A teaspoon of sugar….  or in my case – a teaspoon of Nutella.  This little bit of heaven that I pop in my mouth each morning sets me out on the right foot . I’ve been relying on Nutella as my breakfast of choice since I was 2 years old and I’ve yet to tire of its perfect combination of chocolate and hazelnut.

2) My morning weather report…  Rain or shine, LITERALLY, my mother never fails to text me the daily weather report. Those few little lines on my cell phone screen serve to remind me not only to bundle up, but that someone out there cares enough to prepare me for what’s to come!

3) First sip of coffee… I purposely wait until I arrive at work before having my first cup of coffee. It helps ease the transition from the comfortable calm of home to the chaos of the office. Focusing on the liquid gold in my mug somehow counteracts the dread of opening my slew of emails.

4) Welcome home kisses… Nothing quite compares to a 90 pound german shepherd flying down the stairs and laying a kiss on you when you arrive home from work. I like to think that moment makes his top 5 of the day too!

5) Crawling into bed… The day may be long and often tedious but it’s undoubtedly rewarding to know you worked hard enough to be exhausted when it finally ends.

Then it’s off to dreamland for a blissful 7 hours of sleep before this lucky girls get to repeat these five miraculous moments all over again 🙂
