Mornings, especially summer mornings, ignite me to pop out of bed and begin the day. Certainly having pups to nudge you along helps, and although Norman would gladly sleep in, as soon as he hears the word walk, he bounds to the door ready to explore. The day begins in my household with the pups being fed first, then the tea kettle comes to a boil for hot water and lemon to sip and hot water to prepare my go-to morning steel-cut oats. Paired with either a two-egg French omelette and avocado-citrus toast or over-easy eggs and fresh orange juice, I play the daily mini crossword. And then the day of movement begins! Okay, first, some meditation and then the walk of which where we will go differs every day, all part of the fun of a brand new day. Each of us will design a morning that works with our responsibilities and household inhabitants, but whatever you include, making sure to enjoy what you do will elevate the entire day.
