A Quick and FREE way to start your day off right

I am always looking for ways to improve my health and my happiness! Whether it's a better diet, more (or for that matter, ANY) exercise, etc. I stumbled across something that I believe will truly help my day improve. It may even SAVE you money! It's simple. It's starting off the day on the right foot. I thought I already did this well, fixed my daughter's breakfast, kissed her good-bye, read my daily devotional and ran off to work to start my day. I was always in a hurry to work, don't ask me why. I do love my job, but really, who wants to run to work? I would think sometimes, how I would love to just stay home today and relax, watch TV, etc.. So, I figured out a solution. I decided to get up a bit earlier - maybe 15 or 30 minutes, start my coffee, make my daughter breakfast and then after she left, I sat. Yes, I relaxed, drank my coffee and caught some of the early morning news. WOW - it's amazing how that made me feel like I had a bit more control over my day and was starting it out the way I wanted to. I still make it to work by 8 - but I enjoy myself even before I get there. And for me, who used to drive through Tim Horton's to grab a coffee, I'm actually saving money by making it myself! Ahhh...the simple things in life. Figure out what they are for you, and make them happen!
