Opening Your Eyes
I'm going to guess that many people do not like to open their eyes upon first awakening in the mornings, especially night owls.I only have one memory as a kid of my Dad wakening me when I was probably 5thish grade. He must have said time for school so get up and I resisted so he pulled the sheet off me real quick, funny but that is all I remember from any awakening in a morning. I can't remember if stipping a sheet off me made me mad? was I nude? did it set my waking moods for life? Only one memory as a kid of waking up or being woke up, just that one morning but I don't remember how it made me feel. Curious.
Do thoughts come flooding through your mind as your eyes open or does a blank foggy empty brain take charge first thing in the morning? Rhetorical.
I try to start my day as excited as the little dog does to go pee first thing. She can hold her bladder the whole night while I wake up a couple of times to acknowledge mine.
Music helps set the mood for how I want the day to unfold. Today I'm starting off with some Jazz and gratitude. The weather is beyond gorgeous, went out barefoot and in a sleeveless dress this morning, gorgeous outside. I can't imagine someone somewhere shivering. Gratitude.
Be kind and enjoy your day peeps. Virtual

The alarm clock at an unexpected time, now that's always exciting because there's always a reason hup hup hup hit the shower boil the kettle let's go go go!
If it is the cat yowling the eyes are fully open as I leap up and search for shoes to throw.
Most of the time it's a non-event. Back in my days of getting up at a horrible time to go to work I had a clock radio set to a classical music radio, it seemed the easiest way to let the morning happen, but now I only need to wake at 9 and often wake before the alarm anyway.
Of course in winter I'll snuggle until my bladder says that's it, up we get. The bedroom is dark so eyes open, eyes shut, not much difference...
When I first wake up, it depends upon the circumstances. Questions rapidly move within my mind. What time is it ? Do I need to do anything early ? What do I have to do first. What steps are needed in what order ? What things did I want to accomplish today ? etc..
Like Multi, I used to wake to classical music but then they changed the DJ to one I didn't like
I am not a morning crank, but I do like a cup of tea first thing
What plans are there for 20/20
Plus leap year have you planned to propose to someone?
Thanks again.
Lunch was good food and laughter.
