What is your favorite part of waking up every morning?

When I have a morning off, like this morning, I love to come down to the livingroom and sit in our big 1 1/2 chair and relax. I watch something silly on TV (Charmed, ER whatever's on) and read the newspaper. I love savoring the fact that I don't have to rush off to somewhere else. I don't have to rush to work or to class. I have nothing to do but sit and enjoy my chair, my newspaper and a bowl of cereal.

If I have to go to class or work, I love hitting the snooze button for five more minutes. Something about it is blissful. I'll even go as far as to set my alarm five minutes earlier than I need to get up simply so I can hit the snooze button and enjoy those five minutes that are somewhere between sleeping and awake.

Those wonderful five minutes remind me of the ending of "Hook" where Julia Roberts (Tinkerbell) tells Robin Williams (Peter Pan) : "Peter you know that place between asleep and awake. That place you still can remember your dreams... That's were I'll always love you Peter Pan." It's as though there are secret desires, loves and the inner most thoughts in that place that comes between hitting the snooze button and getting up. And I love it.
