Morning Ritual

Food. It plays such an integral role in our lives. A wedding, birthday, holiday, funeral, ... any occasion you can think of isn't complete without it. Without breakfast, my mornings wouldn't be the same. When I don't have a warm cup o' joe and some oats or toast or cereal or whatever I happen to sit down with that morning, a little bitty piece of my spirit dies.

I can skip the shower or fixing my hair. Skipping coffee and calories? Not an option. That's why the morning ritual I chose was feasting eating.

This morning's breakfast was a bit of a disappointment. Sorry you're not able to see it. You're not missing anything. I made my typical plain oats in the microwave. Then, added my recent favorites: honey and sliced banana. Today, however, the banana I used was not ripe enough. I ended up having to eat around it. Here's to hoping they get ripe before tomorrow.

Until then,

But first, coffee...Day 2.

Today was an easy challenge! Most of my morning ritual revolves around getting up to make my coffee and getting ready to go to school or work. It also involves a little something to eat for breakfast. Mondays are a little more relaxed because I haven't been going into work until 11 so I can take it easy in the morning. Almost every morning involves me sitting on my couch catching up on some last minute studying before I go to school or proof-reading a paper before I go to class. So, I took my photo from the couch with my coffee and my Neuroanatomy lab manual. Trying to study for my test coming up this week. Usually Miss Cleo is curled up at my feet, but today she was too distracted by the cord of my phone charger that she was trying to attack!

Granny Eyre's Morning Ritual

My morning ritual involves opening my blinds, using the restroom, pouring a bowl of cereal and a glass of orange juice, then sitting down to read my Bible. This year I have been reading through the Bible chronologically. For the most part it is written chronologically, but lately I've been jumping around between Samuel, Chronicles, and Psalm. Today was Psalm 103. Here's the first verse.

Praise the Lord, my soul;
    all my inmost being, praise his holy name.
