GOOD MORNING EARTHLINGS AND MYSPACERS JAMIE ELLIS HAS JUST LANDED ON YOUR PLANET EARTH .Good Morning, Dear Earth! .This week and next we’re going to focus on morning and evening routines because they are like bookends that hold up your day. There are a lot of hard things about mornings, like actually waking up, but I’m not going to start with that part. I’m going to start with something easy, at least for me. I’m going to start with a song. Now, if you’re one of those blessed overachievers who wakes up hours before your little ones even begin to stir, you probably will want to save this bit for later, unless of course you want your little ones to hop out of bed and come join you. But if you’re like me and have one or two wee ones snuggled up next to you, or if you have to seek out your children and issue them a personal invitation to exit Dreamland and join the Land of the Awake, then this hint is for you. Start your day with a song. . Good morning, dear earth. Good morning, dear sun. Good morning, dear rocks And the flowers, every one. Good morning, dear beasts And the birds in the trees. Good morning to you And good morning to me! Isn’t it lovely? It’s such a gentle, peaceful invitation to the day. And if you’ve purchased my Seasons of Joy guides, you know that I like to make up new verses for the song that reflect what’s happening in nature. In autumn, for example, we sing Good morning, dear leaves, So pretty and bright! Good morning, dear moon- I’ll see you tonight! Good morning dear squirrels, And birds flying free. Good morning to you, And good morning to me! . I wake in the morning early And always, the very first thing, I sit up in bed and I lift up my head And I sing and I sing and I sing and I sing And I sing and I sing When I wake in the morning early. Really, any sunshiny song will do. And, in the immortal words of Bob from Sesame Street, “Don’t worry if it’s not good enough for anyone else to hear– just sing! Sing a song!” I’ll try to sneak upstairs later today and make a recording of these two songs. Meanwhile, think about what songs you know that can serve as a wake-up call for the masses. Be sure to share them here!
