11 Ways to Energize Your Morning

Tackle Today's Tasks

Consider this quote from Henry Wadsworth Longfellow: "Each morning sees some task begin, Each evening sees it close; Something attempted, something done, Has earned a night's repose."

I love the cleanliness with which Longfellow describes a day. Open a door on something in the morning, close it in the evening. Then rest before doing it again tomorrow.

Of course not nearly every task is a one-day affair. Nor should it be--how rote would life be if we could just begin and end everything without ever investing more time and energy in it than one day can spare?

But nevertheless, is there something you're thinking you'd like to see done today? What are you going to do to make it happen?

Whip Up a Smoothie

The sparkling Janice Taylor of the Our Lady of Weight Loss blog feels strongly that skipping breakfast is not a good idea. She further believes that dehydration can cause irritability and headaches. To solve both problems (feed two birds with one seed, as it were), she offers a lovely, hydrating breakfast smoothie recipe:

Ingredients:
1 medium ripe banana, peeled 3/4 cup pineapple juice (no sugar added; natural juice) 1/2 cup plain low-fat or no-fat yogurt 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract 1/2 cup strawberries, rinsed, stems removed

Instructions:
Break banana into small pieces and put in the blender with the pineapple juice, yogurt, vanilla extract and strawberries. Blend until smooth. Divide between two glasses.
Enjoy!
