Morning (early) wins hands down!

What priorities? Starting the coffee. Then I can “multitask” while the brewing progresses. I’ve begun tuning out the screaming headlines, (they seem the same every morning) and put my mind on peaceful/empowering readings or music.

Thanks Gary!

Has tuning out the headlines affected you? If so, will you share?

I have invited an eclectic mix of voices into my inbox that I peruse first thing. There's Nick Cave from the Red Hand Files, Sue Heatherington the Wales Alpaca farmer, Nice News, Plough, 1440... for a while I was getting Arnold Schwarzenegger but found there was too much exercise talk for my taste. 😂

There is so much great stuff out there to choose from!

Thank you for inviting the muses into your daily round!

Oh! And let us remember Julie at Run to Write who has been such a great support with 3mm!

Avoiding the blaring headlines has been helpful. (An old friend used to observe, “There are two ways to live. Disturbed and undisturbed.”) I sense that reducing the major newscasts and avoiding inherent agitation leaves my early hours wanting harmonious activities. Indeed, I pursue them.

The Muses are always welcome, but let’s not forget my connection with them was through you!

Regarding Julie “Run to Write” Hughes, her appearing seemingly from out of thin air has been a welcome addition to my legion of thought provokers. Of course in a very positive way. Sometimes the blessings seek us.
