I got up way too early this morning. But instead of trying to go back to sleep, I just started my day. I started with prayer. For almost an hour I prayed the rosary, the office, read today’s Mass readings and watched a meditation. I saw the glow of the sunrise through my window and went outside to take a few pictures of the fiery sky. Then I moved on to exercise. I did 20 minutes of yoga, then 20 minutes of aerobics. I started stretching when my son called. We chatted for a bit until he had to go to work. By that time my mom was up and I made breakfast. I felt like I had a whole day of stuff done by the morning meal. To my surprise, instead of feeling tired all day, I felt rather energized and was productive all day. Perhaps I should start every day in this way.

I Found God today in an early but purposeful and productive day.
