When you wake up in the morning, what are you thinking? Problem? Maybe, money? Perhaps, love life? Could be, food? Probably, work?
Surely, how about thinking God and thanking Him first for giving us one more day to experience living with the people we care for and love.That is what I do, I pray first before doing other things. I hope and pray that you remain positive everyday.

Beautiful post, with lovely thoughts. I am always grateful for another day. Usually the first thing I'm thinking is "I wish I could get another hour of sleep." Then I usually begin thinking about my first cup of coffee and how good it is going to taste.

Haha I think that is a very good motivation, coffee!
It is funny to think that sometimes you just got up and all you want to do is to go back to sleep! haha

Just as I get up, I would feel that the day ahead is going to be tiring. My mornings are usually very busy. From cooking breakfast, doing the laundry, cleaning the house, etc. And even if I would want to sleep right after doing all the chores, I couldn't, coz I am afraid I won't be able to wake up in time to fetch my kid by 11am.

I hope so, too. My only wish is to serve them as much as I can while they still need me around and that they may be able to do the same to their children in the future.

Thanks devonavis:)
I pray too every morning when I wake up and before I sleep at night. As to what I think when I wake up it depends on what my life situation is at that moment, it's a day to day thing. Usually I think about working out early in the morning but then I'm lazy to start it so I postpone it for the next day. Of course I think about what I'll be doing for the day, I have a to do list so I just check there.

I guess you have a very good habit, except for that 'I'm lazy to start so I just postpone it for the next day' Haha
Listing the things you want to do the next day is very helpful because often times we forget the things we planned after waking up in the morning :)

As I wake up everyday this is the first thing comes up with my mind... 'thanks God for giving me another day':-) that's it... But that's given to everyone to thank the Creator for giving us a day to live life. Well, being a mother is really multitasking. From Monday to Friday, I wake up early to prepare my kids to go to school. Saturday and Sunday is some kinda relaxing.

When I'm waking up in the morning all I'm thinking about is wanting to go back to sleep and not go into work. But I wouldn't be able to pay my bills if I didn't work so I just get myself ready every morning. I really don't think a whole lot when I first wake up, it's hard to get going sometimes in the morning.

Haha don't worry, you are not the only person experiencing this one. I think almost every person sometimes feel the same way. But I think when you are already used to your daily routine then you will have no problem with this.

I agree with Blondie. I also think of coffee and numerous things I need to do. But coffee always comes first. I don't think my adult life can be effective without coffee or anything to wake me up. Oh, I forgot to mention my pet because he needs feeding.

Haha I guess you guys are addicted to coffee, though we know there are disadvantages. It is really good that you have that pet which motivates you you to wake up! Haha

I agree with you. There are times that we really need to apply the quote 'in every rule, there is an exception'.

If I'm not worried about something, I don't think of any things at all. I just get my phone and myLot. LOL. You're right. We have to think about God and thank Him for giving us another day to spend with the people we care about and love. Thanks for sharing and happy mylotting.

AS i wake up in the morning , i first thank God for giving me beautiful life then i check if he had sent me a message and what time did he sleep . Not a hypocrisy , that is what really am doing , praying then checking mobile.
Devo , so spirit lifting is your discussion. This inspires us.

Oh that is so sweet!
I have to admit that I can't think at all when I wake up
I even don't think about the coffee and the cig I just automatically do it after an hour or so my brain wakes up
It's just terrible

When I wake up I usually think of what lies ahead for the day, what I have planned, whether it's a gym day, or whether it's a chilling out day. Each day is a new page in our life, yesterday's page has been written and now it's time to write todays page, we can fill it with positivity and hope and maybe we will achieve something new.

It is always nice to start a day happy. They say "start your day happy and it will end happy", and I agree with this. We are the ones that are most responsible in deciding what kind of day will we have.

Hello madam! I am really pleased to meet you here in mylot!
I agree with you, thanking the Lord for adding one more day to us and praising Him is I think one of the best way to show Him that He is our God.

hello there,
Of course I pray before getting off my bed.
I think this is the best way to start your day
but I always think of my dream when I wake up.
Trying to remember if it has something to do with my days ahead.
My thinking only
@devonavis (1854)

What a nice way to end your day, but how about your start? Haha
For me, I do not over think of my dreams after waking up because sometimes it is just a 'spice' of my sleep and that it has nothing to do with my days ahead. This is just for me too :)

Honestly, the first thing that I think about when I wake up in the morning is the things that I want to get accomplished during the course of the day. For example, when I woke up this morning, the first thing that I thought about was the work that I was going to be doing online today. Then I also thought about the fact that I was going to be taking my daughter to the thrift store today and also that we needed to figure out what we were going to be having for dinner.
I do most of my thinking about God in the evenings as I am drifting off to sleep. I say prayers at night and thank God for the blessings that I have in my life.

Hi madam :)
It is really good to think immediately about the things we need to do on that particular day, that can show that you are always conscious about your time and your tasks. But for me, also thinking God when we first wake up, and not only when we sleep, will even make our day better, that's for me :) :)

Hi
Good one. I usually wake up and feel very lazy and first thought i get is i should sleep for some more time. But then i try to pray and thank God but the worst part is while praying i sleep again. But nothing else comes to my mind.
I am like this from my childhood. I am trying to overcome this habit. Hope i will be successful.
