Morning Routine

These very chilly fall mornings, it's hard to get out from under warm covers and flannel sheets to start the day.

However, once out and about, each morning takes on a familiar routine.

There's a very comfortable lift chair that was given to us that  has the wherewithal to raise up the person in it as well as lift out!

 Unfortunately, the dark grayish color is dreadful and upholstering the chair is out of the question due to high cost.

So, it remains upstairs, hidden in the master bedroom. 

Nearby is a reading lamp with an old-fashioned shade that I love.  Found it years ago in a Salvation Army Thrift Store.

Each day, two readings are a must to give me strength and fortitude for the day ahead. I also pray for the person who gave me one of the books.

One of the views from the breakfast table is the window shown at the top of the post.

Here's the pretty crystal  "cheese" cover that now holds butter for morning toast. It was another thrifted item.

WHAT HELPS YOU START THE DAY IN A POSITIVE STATE OF MIND?
