I get up to get my daughter to school. If it wasn't for her I would stay in bed. I've lost my job and am stay at home for the first time in 10 years. For me, morning brings the reality of life to the fore. Being mindful of my daughter, and trying to help her have a positive day helps me. Can't say the dog helps - she is usually happy to jump on the bed with me and snore away the day!
