A tablet lies on dry grass and surrounded by dandelions in a natural outdoor setting. The screen displays the cover of the book Everybody Is in the Place by Emma J. Gibbon. The cover features a colorful, fantastical illustration of a female figure with glowing eyes and curved horns, holding something mysterious in her hands. Stars and swirling cosmic elements fill the background, giving the cover a magical and otherworldly feel. The title text is in bold, colorful letters across the top and middle, with the author's name at the bottom.

[Meme] My Favorite… Thing To Do First Thing In The Morning

July 18, 2018      Erica Robyn      36 Comments

My Favorite meme graphic

My Favorite… is a weekly meme hosted by Maureen’s Books. The goal is simple, every week participants will share something that they love with each other based on a prompt.

This week’s prompt is:

My Favorite Thing To Do First Thing In The Morning

Let’s dive in!


My answer:
This one is easy!

My favorite thing to do first thing in the morning is to drink a cup of tea! I’m a bit of a zombie before I’ve had my tea, and there is really nothing better than starting the day with a nice strong cuppa!

Thanks for reading!

    Most days I will turn on the Today show and see what's going on, but I definitely need to eat breakfast first thing!

      I need to eat breakfast very soon after waking up as well! I get dizzy if I don't!

    Probably take a shower – that's kind of the one constant that I usually soon after getting up. It helps me feel more awake.

    I’m not a (hot) tea or coffee drinker so my mornings never start with either. I get up around 5:30 every morning but usually don’t have anything to drink (usually a sweet iced tea or iced chai tea latte) until 7:30 or 8:00 when I’m on my way to the office.

    Sounds very nice! I usually get on my phone and check emails but I’d prefer to get up, open all my curtains to let the light in and go walk in my yard and water my plants. Sadly, that rarely happens.

      I LOVE opening all the curtains right first thing too! I hope to one day be able to afford the Hunter Douglas blinds system that you can set on a timer. How awesome would it be to set the blinds and such to open right when your morning alarm goes off? πŸ™‚

    I'm like you but my caffeinated beverage of choice is coffee. My family knows to stay away from me until I've had at least one cup, lol.

    I don't drink tea (or coffee), but I start my morning off with a warm glass of water (I'm weird, I know, but it works!)! It's all about liquids in the morning, it seems. πŸ™‚ I like to try to read for even only five minutes if I can, just to sort of give my day a fresh start.

    That sounds like a really nice way to wake up. Really, any time you can take a few moments to breathe and enjoy your beverage of choice before starting the day sounds good.

    I don't like tea, but the first thing I do is drink a bottle of water with Crystal Light that has caffeine πŸ˜‰ So I can relate to not being able to function until you've had your drink!

    That sounds heavenly; I feel like I only enjoy tea during the fall/winter. My mornings consist of

    – Check Twitter
    – Feed cats
    – Bathroom ritual
    – Run out the door because I'm always late

    Your mornings sound a bit more peaceful!

    I don't drink tea or coffee – my equivalent is raspberry juice! But the first thing I like to do in the morning is brush my teeth.
