How do you start your day? I almost always begin by writing out a few pages in longhand while sipping tea.
If I lived on "Lori gets whatever she wants" island, where I'm treated like the Queen of a small nation, I'd start every day with a pot of steaming hot earl grey tea, a bowl full of cherries, and a freshly baked blueberry scone brought to me on a tray. In bed. With no crumbs getting in the sheets or noisy dogs trying to get up in bed with me to "share."
The caffeine and my best china give me a combined rush and sense of stability and security. No matter what happens in the stock market today or with work or kids, I can reach over and have a steaming cup of fragrant goodness in my best china. It's been there for a long time and will probably be with me for always.
Best to use it now. What's your morning ritual?
