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!
How would you answer this question? I’d love to hear your thoughts in the comments below.
Angela Lawrence says
Most days I will turn on the Today show and see what's going on, but I definitely need to eat breakfast first thing!
Erica Hatch says
I need to eat breakfast very soon after waking up as well! I get dizzy if I don't!
Nikki (Saturday Nite Reader) says
I need to smell then drink a cup of coffee!

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

Morning showers are so refreshing!!
Tanya Atkinson says
Iβm not a (hot) tea or coffee drinker so my mornings never start with either. I get up around 5:30 every morning but usually donβt have anything to drink (usually a sweet iced tea or iced chai tea latte) until 7:30 or 8:00 when Iβm on my way to the office.
Erica Hatch says
Having a drink right before getting to the office is such a nice treat!
Jenny says
Sounds very nice! I usually get on my phone and check emails but Iβd 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.
Erica Hatch says
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? π
Paige says
Coffee!! All the way. And checking my phone. :-/
Erica Hatch says
Ah yes, I check my phone shortly after waking up too.
Barb says
I don't know if it's my favorite thing is taking the dogs outside, but I do know nothing else can happen unless that does – they won't leave me alone π

Suzanne at The Bookish Libra says
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.
Erica Hatch says
π I'm the same way with tea! I'm a zombie until I've had a cup!
Lauren Stoolfire says
First thing for me is take a shower – I feel like im not awake before that! π

KB Schollenberger says
Breakfast.
Erica Hatch says
Always a good thing to start with! π
Jordan @ForeverLostinLiterature says
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. π I like to try to read for even only five minutes if I can, just to sort of give my day a fresh start.
Erica Hatch says
That's awesome! π
Alicia AKernelofNonsense says
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.

Amy says
I'm the same as you, except for me it's coffee! I can't function without coffee, lol.

Kristen @ Metaphors and Moonlight says
I don't like tea, but the first thing I do is drink a bottle of water with Crystal Light that has caffeine π So I can relate to not being able to function until you've had your drink!
Erica Hatch says
Oh yes, caffeine is a MUST! π
Amber Elise says
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!
Erica Hatch says
This is a great list!! π
Jenna @ Falling Letters says
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.
Erica Hatch says
Yum!! I love anything raspberry!
