What's the best part of your day?

[Youngster]

Being retired gives us the freedom to enjoy each day in whatever way we want. Even so, most of us fall into some sort of a routine.
From the time you get up in the morning to the time you crawl back under the covers, what is the best part of your day.
For me it's sitting quietly in the morning with a fresh cup of hot coffee. If I can sit outside in the morning sun all the better.

ditto.. to bad I can no longer enjoy a smoke.

 

[PeppermintPatty]

Mornings. Listen to solitudes why having tea and petting dogs. Sometimes I read.

 

[hollydolly]

Any time of the day when it's sunny outside and I can be in the garden, either working, or sitting listening to podcasts on my headphones, and or reading or doing a crossword...

if it's not sunny.. then late at night when everything is quiet,...

 

[chic]

Doing something creative when I have the opportunity?

 

[oldaunt]

Watching sunrise with a fresh cup of coffee and hearing the birds wake up.

 

[CallMeKate]

I get up very early each morning and my favorite time of day is dawn, right before the sun starts saying good morning. Then I also love to see sunrise, but dawn just has a very special feel to it.

I like my morning coffee while sitting on the front deck on a sunny morning. There are usually a couple of deer munching on the grass, and the neighbors nice little beagle is usually sitting on the deck waiting for us to come out.

I love when I first wake up in the morning and I don't have to get up if I don't feel like it.

Early evening in the summertime. The day is done, and I can sit outside, relax, and enjoy the occasional cocktail before dinner.

It used to be setting on little front porch with a cuppa....but
last few years the weather is so unsettlling that I no longer
attempt to do that....

Nap time.

You've still got the beverage.

 

[Medusa]

For me there's two: Morning elixir (coffee) and slipping into bed at night, feeling the relaxation set in.

I relish the mornings, always have, still out of bed at 5:15 AM almost every day and get moving right away.

But....after a lifetime of very poor sleep, now that I'm divorced, retired and relaxed I love going to bed! The last few years I have slept better than ever before, so that moment when I shut the light off, pull the blankets up tight and close my eyes is absolute bliss. I love knowing I'm actually going to fall asleep, and even though I still wake up several times a night I always fall back to sleep.

So 10:00 PM has become my little joy.lol

 

[hearlady]

Morning coffee and the very end of the day slipping into bed.

5 in the afternoon weekdays, my tv program comes on.

 

[NorthernLight]

Reading in bed. Then going to sleep.

 

[katlupe]

A couple of hours before first light. I love having my coffee in the wee hours of the morning. When everything is quiet.

 

[Murrmurr]

From about 2 or 3pm until around 6 or 7. That's when my pain meds peak and I can get busy doing what I like and what needs to get done. The yard gets cared for, house gets clean, maybe a meal gets started, the free-roam cats get fed, some wood gets sanded or stained and some nails hammered, groceries get bought, and sometimes my bike gets ridden.

But the best of the best parts of my day are when Michelle gets home from work and then from school. That's when I get lots of hugs and kisses and conversation and laughs.

 

[MickaC]

Very early morning…..around 5 or 5:30.
As many of you, quiet coffee on the deck, when weather allows….seeing the sun rise, hearing Mother Natures’ treasures.
I am most productive in the mornings, getting chores, etc. done…..then fun things.
As the day is ending……watching the sun set…..watching stars and what ever is in the sky.

 

[BC Flash]

Can I pick two? - getting out of bed @ 7 am and back to bed @ 11 pm

 

[Blessed]

Bedtime, little girl dog runs under the covers and snuggles right up, pet her until I fall asleep.

 

[Tish]

Early mornings and late nights

 

[Pappy]

It’s got to be first thing in the morning. Where my chair is, I can watch the beautiful sunrises. It is also my quiet time when me and my God meet and greet each other for a few psalms and bible readings. Out to the kitchen about 7:30 to make coffee for Thelma and me. Love my quiet mornings.
