character traits...

 

One character trait I dislike about myself is the feeling of missing out. I get a really strong surge of annoyance when I feel like I’m missing out on something. It’s not jealousy, it’s a kind of grief for the experience I’ve missed out on. Take this weekend for example. Perfect boating weather. We had prior engagements. We had a lovely time, but I still had this slight disappointment and frustration that hung around me like a bad smell and refused to go away. It’s silly and immature I know.

 

What character traits do you dislike about yourself?

I feel okay this morning. It’s a new day, the start of a new week, full of possibility...

early riser?

I really envy people who can just jump out of bed, early in the morning, firing on all cylinders, clear head and focused. Me? I'm the opposite. I wake as if rising from a coma. I set my alarm 15 minutes before I need to get up, so I can slowly rise through the fog towards the light of day and prepare myself from stepping out of my warm cocoon. Ugh. It's a daily struggle. The cool winter mornings don't help.

Once up, I need quiet calm as I go about my morning routine, or else... Let's just say it's not pretty. My functionality improves by the hour, and by mid morning I'm normally fine.

It's just me, the way I am, I have always loved my bed. I am just designed to protest if I have to rise before 8am. So a totally pointless post today - but there you go... 

Hooray for hot powerful showers and coffee!!!

My lovely warm bed...
