What do you think of when you wake up in the morning?  

• Oh, crap I am going to be late. 
• I don’t want to go to work. 
• When will I ever learn to stop drinking so much? 
• Hope today is better than yesterday. 
• Wish my wife would wake up so we could do a little loving 
• Boy, do I have to go to the bathroom. 
• Why am I so tired? 
• I’m hungry. 
• Today will be great. 
• Thank you, Lord, for another day. 

These are just ten of the millions of thoughts one could have when waking up. Your wake-up thoughts will be different as you go through different stages of your life. My wake-up thoughts are much different during my retirement stage than my working stage. I do not have the urgency and schedule to abide by when I was in the working stage. I can lay in bed and expand on my immediate thoughts. I would say the most often thought is, “I have to go pee!” After the urgency is taken care of, I can lay in bed and go over items that are important at the time and plan my day. I also reminisce and reconcile about past experiences and events in my past. Without my memories in life, I would be very lonely. Memories are very important to me, good and bad. I also spend time being very thankful that I have been very fortunate in my eighty plus years.  

So, the moral of this tale is, there is no moral, this is the first thought I had today and thought it would be an unusual topic to write about
