What is the favorite part of your day?

Early morning sunrise, and a cup of good strong coffee for me.
The sunrise part depends on the weather of course - it rains a lot around here.
The coffee part never changes, and for many years included tobacco. So a morning smoke, a cup of coffee, and a wonderful sunrise. Actually I cut the tobacco part of that ritual out decades ago. The best was as a kid in the Navy, in the Pacific, out on deck with the cup of coffee watching a big , bright sun coming up on the horizon (and having that smoke).

Sounds like heaven! If you think it rains a lot where you are, then come to the South West of the UK. :gaah: Lately the wet stuff has never stopped, hence my post about chasing the sun whenever it deigns to make an appearance here. I too, cut out the ciggies many moons ago, but I still miss that 'hit' that you describe.

Hmm hard question but I like it.

I'm honestly not sure, it depends on the day. Fridays used to be my favorite, I'd go to the pool hall as soon as they opened, practice on the tables then eventually hang out at the bar with friends. I'd keep the jukebox going and occasionally challenge someone to a game. Sometimes you meet a nice gal. It was my 'Cheers' environment. I used to do this every Friday but now it's maybe once a month.

At the moment I'm not sure I have a decisive answer but here's a few things that come to mind:

1 Gardening in the sun with my dog, iced tea and talk radio. Sometimes beer instead of tea but more often than not, tea. I garden without gloves, shoes or shirt (unless I'm in the shade, then mosquitos will eat me up).

2 The feeling I have when I step out of the shower after a 5k.

3 Walking the dog at 5:30AM.

4 Reading before bed on a day where I accomplished all my tasks.

Special mention: when I'm having a good 'meditation day' and I arrive at one of the 'places' you reach when meditating. That 'place' where it's just utterly quiet and peaceful..... Man if that was a drug therapists would be out of business.

Were you ever stationed at Mayport? Nice sunrise there too, although I will say I'm jealous of your sunrise haha. It does sound beautiful.

I love waking up in the morning to watch the sunrise… just when dusk hits and the stillness of the night once most life around me is asleep.. there is a peace to this stillness 🙏🧿

One of my favourite parts of each of many days, this winter, has been when the ice candle-lamp is lit. Weather here is getting warmer, with more incoming, so this might be the last of this pleasure.
