Woke up. Fell out of bed. Dragged a comb across my head. Apparently, that is Paul McCartney’s morning routine.
What is important to you when you wake up? What are the first things you think about? Is it that hot steaming cup of coffee you are about to taste? Is it how good that hot booming shower is going to feel? Are you thinking about what to have for breakfast? Or are your concerns a little deeper than that? Are my kids ok? Do I really have to go to work today? What does my day have in store?
In about three weeks I am turning 67. So, sometimes, my first thought is that I made it through another night! Another night of tossing and turning and getting up to pee.
We all go through our morning routines. That routine launches us into today’s adventure. Will I laugh, today, so hard that I pee my pants…just a little? Will the drive-up lane at Dunkin Donuts be too long to stop? Will I cry today? Will I suffer some type of indignity or loss? Will the people I love be happy and productive? Will this be THE BEST DAY EVER? A little shout out to Spongebob there!
We go through our days…the laughter, the tears. Every day, in at least some small way, is different than the last. Every day is a gift.
What is important to you at the end of the day? What do you think about as you close your eyes? Did I do any good today? Are my loved ones happy? Did I eat too many unhealthy foods? Did I exercise enough? How will I sleep tonight?
As you all know, I am a huge Beatles fan. I am ending this post with something from them. It is something we can sing to our small kids. It is something we can sing to the love of our life. It is someting we can sing to ourselves. Golden slumbers fill your eyes…smiles await you when you rise…sleep pretty darling do not cry…and I will sing a lullabye.
I know this particular post has more questions than answers. But that is a purpose of my blog. To get people to think about their lives. I hope I acccomplished that today! Good day, Sunshine!
