Find a Morning Spot

Nothing starts the day off better than a quiet morning spot of your own. A place to waken with the peace of the day, preferably as nature awakens and unfolds. The rising sun, the tweet of the birds or the caw of a crow, trees gently glistening in the morning mist or sun and a view if possible of all the beauty to behold, all gently nudge the spirit within toward a glorious day. A place of time for brief early contemplation over that first cup of coffee or tea can be the most uplifting experience of the day.

If you live in an environment that does not offer the nature of the morning, you can create your own inviting environment with plants, indoor table-top waterfalls, candles or incense and a cozy nook or even at the kitchen table before the rest of the household wakes.

Some of my best memories are of cold winter mornings spent in our 1920s rural home in Missouri. I would rise before my husband and children to literally go into the kitchen to light my great-grandmother’s old cook stove (as my family had always called it) so that it’s warmth would add to the one old heater that otherwise heated our home. I would make a pot of tea and sit quietly at the old wooden table as the large time-honored kitchen slowly began to warm. There I would think on the day as I gazed upon the three old maples that stood watch over our yard.

Wherever I am, I always try to create even a little morning spot. It hearkens from my childhood when my grandparents (who raised me) would sit at their kitchen table together, sharing their morning coffee; each quietly gazing through the large dining window out to the crows pecking through the yard for the scraps my grandmother would have thrown out for them from the dinner the night before. The scene always lent a sense of morning peace and comfort as they quietly began their day together.

Each morning in my spot, I sit and look out upon the elms and the Big Ditch (which is a riverbed than runs when the rains come or the mountains are melting off their snow). It is filled with nature and no matter the season, offers much in morning solitude.

Wherever you live, find a way to carve out your own morning spot to begin your day. If you have to, get up an hour early before the rest of the household or share the spot with your spouse. Either way, your own morning spot filled with quiet and contemplation, will change the pace and flow of your days so you will more easily align with the Spirit within. It makes an opportune time for prayers, affirmations, gratitude and thanks, as well as receiving your own Divine guidance. Give your day a fresh start each day with your own morning spot.
