Morning is a nebulous concept here at Casa fitinfun. Every since I stopped working 9-5 in 2008, I have not worried about time in the way most people do. 

I sleep when I get tired, and I wake up when I do. I don't look at the clock much and just go about my business no matter what time it is.

Living in SE Asia for the last years has made this tendency even more extreme. Stores and restaurants are open 24 hours, the places I live are very safe, and so I do not need to worry about being able to shop at any time of day or night.

Add to this that most people I speak to are up in the "middle of my night" and now I am really not concerned with time.

Last night I thought I would lie down for a few minutes at 10 pm. I ended up waking up at 2 am and then went to the store and local restaurant for some supplies and Nasi Lemak. I got back from that trip at 4 am and now at 9 am, I am soon to sleep again. 

Whenever I do wake up I have a prayer I have said for many years:

>Thank you God for the many blessings of this life. Especially this day when you allow me to open my eyes and try again.

I started praying this when I was on a two year "Death Watch" with my heart. I was so sick at that time, that I really did not know if I was going to wake up each and every day. My doctors had no idea how I was still alive, and liked to let me know their feelings on the matter frequently as they tried all their experiments on me. 

My son was 3-5 years old at the time, and I did not want to be his dead mom. This prayer became my safety blanket and comfort; allowing me to carry on in the face of bad odds. 

I have said this so many times, that sometimes it comes out at random times:

>Thank you God for the many blessings of this life. Especially this view you have allowed me to see.

>Thank you God for the many blessings of this life. Especially this meal you have allowed me to eat.

etc

So in answer to [today's freewrite prompt](https://steempeak.com/freewrite/@mariannewest/day-796-5-minute-freewrite-wednesday-prompt-describe-your-morning-feeling) of "describe your morning feeling," my morning feeling is always good no matter what is going on.

My photo for this post is of a pit bull named Sugar who is the first dog I ever really knew. She was with me in a place I was doing hospice care and we became quite attached to each other.

You see the one and only time Sugar was allowed on my bed for the night. Nothing can move a sleeping 80 pound pit bull and I needed my sleep. After this, she slept on the floor next to me instead.
