What are your morning rituals? What does the first hour of your day look like?
The mornings are not my favourite time of day! I have always struggled to wake up and have to use an alarm in the week!
So now that I am semi-retired I have, finally, mornings the way I want them. Slow.
I wake up and am served coffee is bed by my husband. Such a treat. The I spend an hour gathering myself for the day.
Predictably, I reach for my phone to scroll through the news – and, no, I do not go near social media, even if I am sorely tempted. The news is mostly bad and would depress me if I did not end my morning ritual with reading a book. I love reading and don’t read much during the day. So my book and I meet in the evening, before bed and then again in the morning before I rise.
I do admit that the bed counts amongst my top five places to be in my home. I spoil myself with great linen and magic pillows.
Then I get up and perform my toilette. A gorgeous way to start my day and the only way I can be of good cheer in the mornings. If I have to rush I find that I am grumpy – not a good look.
