This may sound trivial but I sense that it is an indication of the level of faith one has.
Do you think immediately about God? Thank Him for a good sleep for instance?
I’m as big a sinner as anyone, maybe worse. My thoughts tend to go immediately to my arthritic joints, in knees, back, lower leg and hands. Poor me. 🙂
It may well set the tone for the rest of the day. I know many of you are very disciplined about this. And attend to your prayers straight away. I need a little prompting but hopefully your good habits can rub off on me.
God Bless.
 
“What’s on my phone that I may need to attend to before I start the rest of the day?”
 
Depends.

Some mornings, “Thank you, God.”
Some mornings, “That was a weird dream.”

Many mornings, “Coffeeeeee”
 
mine: what a weird dream i just had… is it saturday yet??
 
I have had days like that. Usually when my job had become a nightmare.
 
The first thing I do is check the time, make the sign of the Cross, say the morning offering and then what’s for breakfast!
 
That depends on what you mean by waking up, what’s playing on the TV, and what my dreaming was like among other things.
 
“I’m tired”
“How much time do I have to get dressed, wash my face, and do my hair?”

praying mumble mumble falls asleep

starts to pray again using ACTS (Adoration, Contrition, Thanksgiving, Supplication), goes from C to T, but then says “Lord Jesus Christ, have mercy on me”

starts rambling

“Man, I barely have any time left to pray”
 
your arthritic joints and mine! I send up my distracted prayers throughout the day. A close friend in his 90’s is troubled by cancer and now needs a pacemaker. glad to hear that he is still around. very sad about the florida school shootings. who to complain to?

I sense God all the time. I am currently most grateful for some insight into an overlooked insulation problem in my house that I’m working on. DENIM insulation? ever hear of it? Can’t wait. Just what I need R 13,4.

Sometimes I have a nightmare and wake up thanking God that is was just a dream. Then I look around me, remember what my life has become, and beg God to let me go back.
 
Oh dear my alarm is going off. Aww heck, it wouldn’t hurt to set it ahead 15 minutes right? Repeat a few times Ok, screw it. Wake up time! Wait wait wait! Lemme check my email and Facebook and see what’s going on. 15 minutes later Aw man, I’m just wasting time over here! Time for my shave and cold shower and prepare my day of adventure! 🙂
 
I think to myself - “Already?! It seems like I just went to sleep!”
