Good Morning

How do you get up in the morning? Now that I no longer have to go to work I enjoy taking my time. 

I watch birds in the trees. I watch the news and a couple other programs as I get dressed. It is a relaxing way to start my day.

My father had been in the Navy during the war. We learned at early ages to stand back if we had to wake him up. As he awoke he would jump up and stand at attention. Anyone in his way would be knocked down.

My ex-husband would wake up swinging. I do not know why. We always stood away from him too.

The most interesting to me is my little sister. She is normally a sweet soft-spoken person. When she gets up in the morning she wants to be left alone. If you speak to her too soon she growls. She actually sounds like a wild animal. We usually give her about two hours.

I would love to hear any interesting ways people wake up.

  1. thecontemplativecat here. It is good to see your name. Waking up? I grew up on a farm and the men got up early to do chores. Me? I got up early also, why I don't know. After teaching 20 years when I always was up by 6:30, returning at 5. Now I sleep for a few hours more. I am pleasant when I get up. My own sister was not.
