Daily Question, December 14

What is one of my favorite times of day? Why am I grateful for it?

  • Elaine

    I can’t choose. All times of day are my “favourite”, I love the rhythms of daily life. I’m grateful for these inward dark winter days – “wintering” one poet called it – to reflect, pray, read, ponder, listen to music, listen to the radio, watch tv, knit, cook. All of it is good and I don’t take it for granted!

  • Malag

    Early morning when I centre into stillness with breathing and meditation and there’s the prospect of teas to imbibe.

  • Cathie

    I am a night owl and love the deep, dark, quiet of night. It is when I am most creative and alive. I also love to take full moon walks and hikes at night. I am most grateful for those moments of creativity, and solitude.
    Life doesn’t always lend itself to being a night owl, but when I can swing it, it feels like home.

  • Bethany

    My 1 hour drive home from work, I reflect on the day, things I should have done or said differently or things that went well yet could always be improved and how I can attempt to help tomorrow perhaps be better. I am grateful to be able to work, drive and help run a successful business.

  • Maeve

    Going to bed. No more pushing myself or doing more. The day is over, and I can rest and relax.

  • devy

    The morning watching the sun rise over the horizon. It symbolizes to me a new beginning a new start no matter what happened in the past. The sun shine in light and takes over the darkness… another analogy to fact that even though we will experience bad things they are only temporary and that good times will arise..

  • Ose

    I love the early mornings, being grateful for moments of stillness before daydawn with all its busy bee- duties ahead, especially in spring, when birdsong accompanies the sun´s appearance, singing everyone into the day ahead.

  • dcdeb

    The Night time is the right time. Calm and reflect.

  • Jennifer

    I like the mid-morning since it is when I am awake and ready to tackle the day. It is usually sunny and I have my highest energy. I like feeling productive and excited about the day ahead.

  • Hot Sauce

    I’m a night lover. I love when the moon and stars are out because I find the darkness with little glimmers of light more beautiful than pure light (like the day) or pure darkness (like a dark closet). A mixture of light and darkness is the most beautiful and balanced form of beauty to me.

  • Mica

    I just think about looking out at the sky and my balcony, and I do that at all times of day. 🙂

  • Don Jones

    The first 24 hours – because they are always unique, fresh and an open possibility.

    One of my favorite times of the day is early morning. I am grateful for this time as it is quiet & somewhat peaceful (before all the construction starts up in my neighborhood ☹️). I spend time with my coffee, prayer, meditation, this site and others. My quiet time sets me right for the day. I need this time, if I don’t have it, I am off all day & not centered & not right. Happy Day to All…🙏❤️

  • Lauryn

    In the morning around 8:00 AM… there is a certain silence as the rays of sunshine spread across our yard. My garden kitties crunching their dry food, me sipping on my coffee, listening to the birds and the occasional sound of the random neighbors around me walking up for the day.

  • Linda

    I love early afternoon. It is warm enough to go out and walk, and the sunshine this time of year is glorious in the afternoons.

  • Maggie

    One of my favorite times of day has to be this time right now. When I wake up earlier than needed to just have time to refresh and be present. This is the time I find myself journaling most. It’s such a great way to start off my day and it wires my brain to think positively. I love this practice and I think it’s highly beneficial.

  • Carol

    My daily walk but the time varies depending on the weather. I love the fresh air. I love visiting with neighbors who may also be walking, sitting on their front porch or working in their yards. I’ve learned a lot about their lives and petted a lot of dogs!.

  • Mary Pat

    In the early morning hours. It is usually the only time of day I am alone, and I treasure it. And if I have insomnia, that time is again, treasured because I am alone without any interruptions…..

  • JayJacks

    11:11pm comes to mind. It’s the moment I proposed to my wife at the lake. She said yes and we’ve been inseparable ever since. Also we love to watch the sunset together and when the moon is full we will sit out and look on in wonder. I’m grateful for these moments because I get to share them with someone I love.

  • DeVonna
    I love my mornings. They are rich with rituals that comfort me and start my day off right. I spend time in prayerful contemplation each morning. Reading a snippet of scripture and a story that ties in with the scripture on the Upper Room website. I converse with the other visitors to that site through posts, like this one, daily. We share prayer concerns, praises and observations on life. It helps me in many ways, first it connects me with a faith community which is very important to me, secondl...
