I love to read in bed at night, just for a few minutes before I go to sleep. It helps my brain to slow down. In the morning, I LOVE to wake up, roll over, grab a pillow, and drift back into sleep. I'm NOT a morning person at all, so dozing and re-awaking is a luscious relaxation and helps me wake up slowly and face the day.M.K.https://www.blogger.com/profile/09205619221345704689noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1368793710186704163.post-5785392607771319452012-07-07T19:42:24.345-04:002012-07-07T19:42:24.345-04:00Crocheting or embroidering while lying in bed is a...Crocheting or embroidering while lying in bed is a treat for me.Angelahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11718137744623626322noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1368793710186704163.post-30011996893439608192012-07-07T18:02:35.815-04:002012-07-07T18:02:35.815-04:00I have enjoyed a book in bed before getting up onl...I have enjoyed a book in bed before getting up only a few mornings since I got married. It does sound like the most indulgent and summery-restorative activity.<br /><br />I feel pretty luxurious when I wake up and phone my daughter who lives three time zones earlier than I do. Even if I do it at 6 a.m., it is only 9 a.m. where she is. I like to lie under the covers and chat for an hour. This, also, is a rare treat.GretchenJoannahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13641677400029070452noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1368793710186704163.post-11088419087310200142012-07-07T14:24:10.346-04:002012-07-07T14:24:10.346-04:00Sitting out on the back patio on a cool evening is...Sitting out on the back patio on a cool evening is a sweet luxury. I just watch the birds. <br />I have books everywhere, but sometimes I don't have the "right one" where and when I want it.

I...I do this sometimes if the book is really good. I like to read before bed, and if I wake up in the night I just turn on my little light and read until I'm sleepy again. I really enjoy an afternoon nap which is always preceded by a little reading. Sometimes I might read after the nap, too. I find that reading fiction while sitting up is extremely difficult. I must lay down or recline. But non fiction I can easily read while sitting up. (Is that more of a quirk than a luxury?)Leslie https://www.blogger.com/profile/11216448707277968516noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1368793710186704163.post-17773077256287453502012-07-07T11:07:31.827-04:002012-07-07T11:07:31.827-04:00Just last night, I went back into my living room t...Just last night, I went back into my living room to grab the book I'm reading to purposely put it on my nightstand for the morning. It really is a luxury. A great way to start the day!Heatherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14016303700981928418noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1368793710186704163.post-87441664640650779102012-07-07T09:53:50.418-04:002012-07-07T09:53:50.418-04:00I read in bed in the morning my entire life ... un...I read in bed in the morning my entire life ... until I had children. I still read first thing in the morning, but usually while drinking a cup of coffee on the porch. A scheduled morning read in bed is a lovely idea!<br /><br />xofrancesLeft-Handed Housewifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15014518128739580267noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1368793710186704163.post-31723969513208455542012-07-07T09:29:00.302-04:002012-07-07T09:29:00.302-04:00Reading in the morning works so much better than r...Reading in the morning works so much better than reading in the evening. If I read in the evening, in bed, I would fall asleep! One of my favorite things is when I awaken at 6:30, rather than the usual 5:00 AM, for I know I will feel SO much better all day long. It's amazing what an extra hour and a half can make in my attitude and productivity!<br />Enjoy your weekend. :-)Cranberry Morninghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10758563068581561194noreply@blogger.com
