morning rituals

I was prompted by hannahmarcotti to keep a camera by my bedside and in the morning to take photos of things that happen.  She encourages the photos because of the visual effect.  If you don't use a camera pay close attention to the morning as if you were looking thru a camera.  The whole concept was about being aware of how you start your day.  This is what I wake up to each morning, my kitty cat named,  Marmalade.  I always knew she greeted me but I never really paid too much attention to her sweetness.

Then we have Merlot who sits on my jewelry chest watching me.  He usually walks across the bed the goes back to the chest

The next event that takes place is my daily ritual of writing in my morning pages/journal.  I sit in my chair in my studio and write whatever comes to my mind.  Sometimes it's productive thoughts and sometimes it's rambling. 

My husband can't believe I would add this photo of me in my night gown.  When I make a commitment I tend to go all the way.  Anyway.... it's about the point of being aware of how I (you) start your day.  It can often set the tone for the rest of the day.  I am choosing to be more aware.

Keep Smiling!
