[Morning Song Canvas - Louise Salmon from the internet]

 Today i awake, i am thankful

But still i am lethargic

Just do this i say to myself


Otherwise i would savour 

Lethargy and wallow in it

Just do this i say to myself


So i plug in the kettle

Having filled it with water

Just do this i say to myself


I mean to have a cup of coffee

No milk, no sugar, just a bitter blend

Just do this i say to myself


Well i sip cause its hot

And praise the Almighty so deserving

Just do this i say to myself


I'm now in motion mode

There is a day ahead of me to live

Just do this i say to myself

    I think you and I share the same mantra in the morning, Gillena! And it's good to start with black coffee and ... "Well i sip cause its hot/And praise the Almighty so deserving/Just do this i say to myself." Love it! 💖

    We can talk ourselves into the daily routine, Gillena, but sometimes it is nice to have someone to do it for us.

    We all have the days when we need a mantra to get moving. Nicely done, Gillena.

    Gillena, I know all about this pushing oneself on, bit by bit, until the day gets rolling.

    A poignant write, Gillena. Sometimes we have to do things step by step to get through the day. 💙

    Coffee should be taken as black as possible.

    You have made me try to think consciously about the mantras I use to get through the day and indeed, life, Gillena...

    I really relate to your poem. Some days, it's hard to get started.
