How Do You Start Your Morning?
Because I’m a lousy sleeper, I stay away from coffee. My morning routine begins with Earl Grey tea. How about you?

I have warm milk with Hershey’s chocolate syrup ☺ but sometimes skip this and have tea after breakfast
That is surely the best breakfast drink, ever.
Coffee for me!
Black?
Cream & sugar are required. The only time I have had black coffee that I actually liked was on an Air France flight. The coffee was devine. I could not believe it was airplane coffee! The reason I drank it black was that I couldn’t get the attention of the flight attendant, so I tried a sip and liked it! But never again since then.
Real heavy cream?
Actually, I just use 2% milk. It’s the right blend for me…creamy, but not too much.
I know that I’m an outlier in this case, but I’ve always been a whole milk girl. (Mostly used in granola.)
Whole milk on granola sounds pretty darn good to me!
I’ve gotten into the habit of making my own granola. I add dried bing cherries and dried cranberries. It’s a great way to start the day.
I throw on leggings and a jacket and walk the dog. At 5:30 am. Rain or Snow; it is her only walk of the day – we try to beat everyone else, because she is dog reactive. I have grown to love it; the crispness of the air, the peace, a city waking up – its a beautiful part of my day.
What a tranquil beginning to your day. And then, is there coffee?
Coffee for me the stronger the better. Its a bonus if I can add in a workout too.
I imagine the workout is easier after a strong jolt of coffee.
Decaf and/or herbal tea. Some kind of warm beverage.
Whether it’s 100 degrees or 20, I look forward to my morning hot beverage.
Coffee with soy milk. Lately been trying to get up and walk before work for my and the dog’s sake. I’m naturally a late sleeper so this takes training but it is a good feeling to get that in before work and to see the colors in the sky. Hoping it sticks (this time).
Just this week, I’ve noticed how much the morning light is changing. I’m already getting wistful about summer.
