Do you wake up with a bounce, eager to start the day? Is that the best time for you?
Is it relaxing by the TV or PC or book after the chores are done?
Is it a daily walk and chat with some friends along the way?
Shopping or Senior Center?
Maybe its suppertime, preparing and enjoying a meal and something good on TV?
What floats your boat on a usual daily basis?
Tough one
But
There are two definite times of the day that run neck and neck in regard to best;
That first cup of coffee
Stepping out, sipping, watching nature take place
And
Our second sleep
To explain;
We have come into a habit of waking up during the wee hours of the morn
Stoke the fire
Get on the web until we get sleepy (usually around dawn)
….and trudge back to bed
That second sleep is a more conscious one
Turning to the cool side of the pillow
Nestling in to extreme comfort
Most times spooning
Cozy, involuntary smiles
Cognizant of drifting off
....drifting
....drifting
Into shallow, then deep, REM slumber
Waking whenever consciousness occurs
We learned to do this on weekends before retirement
Weekdays, this can only happen when retired or so wealthy someone else can go to work for you.
There are other, prized, magical times.
Like right after a project is finished to the point of satisfaction
Or the first few bites of an exceptional meal.
Or collapsing, deliriously exhausted after a mutual intimate zenith.
Those have a specialness apart from day to day bests, but surely compete in an overall scenario
Now, if a gun was held to my head, commanding I choose from my two common, daily favorites…
It’d be that first cup of joe
