What Mornings Look Like...

Just a normal end to a normal day.......slept off at 11:45pm last night......strangely woke up at 5:17am this morning feeling completely energised....not an inkling of a wanting to go back to bed again.
That's pretty unusual for "the not a morning person" that I am......but then I decided to utilise the time.

Walked to the passage.....had a good look at myself in the mirror......noticed an ageing me.....(woes of mid-thirties) uffff.....i then smile at myself and think......who cares about ageing when you can captivate with a smile like that :-))))))).............went to the kitchen.....made myself a nice cup of coffee (ummmmm) and sipped it sitting alone on the couch (what i experienced was Bliss). I cant resist the phone.......(woes of e-age) i scan through my phone.....watch a video on the effects of smoking (nothing to worry about.....i grab a puff like once in 6 months :-P).....moveover to sudoku .....try to solve a game....and then i go WTF!!! why waste my time on the phone!!! I'm quick to take corrective action....... I lace up and head out for a walk and thereafter it was 45 minutes of "Me Time".........thoughts.....thoughts.....more thoughts........a lot of talking to myself.....some self motivation......a brisk walk.....soaking the early morning sun.....chirping of the birds......sweet smelling flowers......(there's so much beauty that an early morning witholds).......senior citizens walking in small groups.......and it wakes you up to the reality of a life that is to come.
A check on a number of rounds......wow.....i've walked 8 rounds.....decide to try jogging on the next...manage just half a round........and then finish the final lap walking........Man! Do i perspire!! Feels rrrrrreal good.
I'm back home......log on to my laptop......and the rest that follows is happening right now.
Tanya wakes up......a warm hug follows.......my charging ipod grabs her attention......and she enjoys some music while I write this blog.
Amma is preparing idlis and there....whirrrrrr (the sound of the grinder). Breakfast beckons!! What a start to the day......i'm glad i gave myself these 2hours and 55minutes.....yup....a timecheck says in 8:12am
