I used to wake up in the morning dreading my day. Well, may be dreading is too strong of a word but I wake up in such pain sometimes that I know my day is not going to go well. So, I changed my morning thought patterns. I lay in bed and just thank God for this day and always ask, "What are you going to surprise me with today" or "What are you going to bring me today" or something along those lines. For some reason it just puts a more positive spin on my morning. It sets me up to just accept what comes my way during the day. And, it's cozy laying in bed talking to God about all sorts of things. It's my morning pleasure. Also, since I can't just hop out of bed right away anymore, I take advantage of that time to speak with Him instead of moaning about the pain I am waking up to.
