Every morning I get up and head into the kitchen. I turn on our little Internet kitchen radio, which streams NPR from the States, and I set a teakettle to boil on the stove. Then I wash the rest of the dishes from last night, clean the counters, wipe the stove. All of this relaxes me. So does throwing in a load of laundry.
Once my tea is ready, I take it into my office and turn on my desk lamp, which throws a little bit of warm light on everything. Then I start my day.
We all have little things we do that relax us. What’s your morning ritual?
