Title: Positive reasons to get out of bed in the morning Post by: MaryUSA on November 12, 2014, 08:16:44 AM Hi all,
I am going to be upbeat in this post and list positive reasons people get out of bed in the morning. Positive reasons: To listen to songs they like To see the posts on online message boards To be with family To listen to the birds To see the sun rise To write poetry To meet friends for breakfast Title: Re: Positive reasons to get out of bed in the morning Post by: drbeachboy on November 12, 2014, 08:28:57 AM I woke up still alive. :D

As much of a cliche as it can be, it's easy to forget how great it really is to be able to wake up and experience another day in general. When the times get really bad, you can still find something as simple as opening the blinds in the morning to let the sunshine in to enjoy.
I remember Warren Zevon after he had been diagnosed with his terminal illness was on the Letterman show. It was a tough interview, because everyone who knew Warren knew what he was facing. And I forget how the question was phrased to him but I'll never forget how Zevon replied: "Enjoy every sandwich". :) And that summed it up almost as well as anything I had ever heard.

To witness, to be conscious -- is the greatest miracle or evolutionary feat accomplished. There is no other reason, that I can think of, for any of it.

Title: Re: Positive reasons to get out of bed in the morning Post by: Bean Bag on November 12, 2014, 12:17:13 PM Well said. That's exactly what motivates me to "do it all over again" each morning. Cuz, otherwise I'd be a bum! I still am a bum... but I'd be much, much bigger bum, without them. Unshaven and all the rest.
When I say "I can't think of any reason" I was referring to LIFE in general. The ole' why are we even here? question. Not the OP's questions -- but the next logical question. And the only reason I can think of is to be a witness.

It's that boring; not into poetry, both writing AND reading. As for sunrise, I like everything involving sun sights. It's def. the most beautiful thing to watch, even better than rainbow. Still, I don't think over this, frankly, silly question, what the reasons are etc. To see the sun rise To write poetry |
