A joyful start

This morning I woke up and groaned. I'm becoming bitter towards the cheerful bells my phone's alarm clock blurts out at me at 6:20 every morning. As I was still lying in bed, full of pillow marks and dreams of 2 more hours of sleep, I thought I'd change focus. Practice an attitude of gratitude. So, with that in mind, this morning I'm feeling particularly joyful about...

• My upcoming cup of coffee, given to me for FREE by my favorite UT baristas
  
• Listening to Passion Pit a little too loud this morning to get the mojo working
  
• Thursdays, because they eventually lead to Fridays and weekends are just downright joyful
  
• The progressive, student-centered workplace I found myself at
  
• Long and winding phone calls with friends which center me and keep me upbeat
  
• My upcoming kitchen challenge tonight - making homemade falafels

What are you joyful about this morning?
