Do you like to wake up and dive into your day, or relish the last few moments of silence before the bustle sets in?  I am definitely in the latter category–whenever possible, I like to ease into my awake-itude, hearing my feet pad on the floor on the way to the bathroom, feeling hot water on my face and hearing the swish of the toothbrush.  My voice sounds weird when I first wake up, which I take as a sign that it’s not yet time to use it.

What about you – do you like to wake up to the clinking of dishes or the zing of music, or the chatter of loved ones?  Or are you a quiet-time day-starter like me?
