Gratitude & Getting up early

I have been reading about morning routines for about 3 years. Every personal development book I have ever read mentions this practice, and most of the wealthiest people in the world swear by their morning routines. When I first heard of this idea, the elaborate mornings of some people would never ever ever fit into my schedule. I procrastinated from ever starting one because I thought it wasn’t something that was available for me. But guess what? It doesn’t have to be complicated or take a lot of time. Turns out, it can literally be whatever you want it to be.

The words below are some of the life lessons I have collected since I lost my Momma about a year and a half ago.

For me, thinking about my journal entries (or things I couldn’t even write before) suddenly becoming public to all of the internet, I get a little nervous. But let’s take a leap and see what happens.
