Morning Person? HA!!

I have never been a morning person; self admitted morning grump! I have never been happy in those first moments, after the eyes open and the mind realizes that it’s been brought out of its state of re-charging. Morning greetings, aside from those sweetly uttered by my daughter, are typically met with the equivalent of “grrrr…”! I can’t shake the growlies in the morning, even though I can lightly laugh at my foolishness; to myself. The morning cup of coffee has never been the fix either; for me, it’s the shower.

Most mornings, when I step into the warmth of my shower, I can’t contain the “Aaahh…Oh. My. God.” That slips from my mouth. My bones and muscles instantly relax, my pores open and as the water rushes down on me, I feel the sleepy haze drift up and away with the steam. I feel rejuvenated. I feel human. All the residual grumpiness flows down the drain with the shampoo and soap.

The perfect solution: a magical shower installed beside the bed. The moment my eyes open I could be instantly and gently transported into the shower. Some of my favorite tunes playing, the magical machine sets to work washing my hair, oh and some heavenly scent floating through the steam and seeping into my skin…sounds great!! (Not sure how this would work, but it is a GREAT idea!)

I love this, Laurinda! When I was a little girl I remember wishing my bed could fly so I could stay warm and cozy and be transported to school! These days I am a dedicated morning person, though that first cup of coffee a necessity. I find myself often muttering an involuntary "mmmm..." when I take the first sip!
 
If you ever find this magic shower, I want one! I feel exactly the same way about mornings--and showers.
 
From 2 to 10, I woke up at dawn (and talking, my mother said). From 10 to 51, I dragged out of bed as late as possible, generally between 5:30 a.m. and noon (but not talking at all). From 51 to the present, I'm back to skylark status. But that magical shower sounds like such luxury...
 
You guys made me laugh!

Mom-I always wanted one of those beds too!

Susan and ToWrite- I will absolutely share when I get that one figured out...no one should be without that luxury!!

ToWrite-I don't think I have ever had years of waking happy?! Sad perhaps...but now I wonder, will I maybe get there in the future?
