Good Morning Sunday!!!

Aha!! Here comes Sunday...Probably the most anticipated day all over the world...For school kids the day to get out and indulge in some sport (wonder how many still play on the streets after Computer Games took over), For the beautiful women to get out and let loose on swanky streets for some great bargains, for the men to sleep on and on. Its a day which everyone waits for, the ones who have a 5 day week for getting their rest , and those with 6 day weeks to get rid of their hangover...

Waking Up!!!

My Dad loved to wake me up at 5:30 each morning. I found that absolutely cruel and wondered if he did it with the sole intention of irritating me. After all the school bus came at 7:30, and I never took more than 10 minutes to Get Ready and Eat my Breakfast. So WHY!!!!... However today, I wish I could wake up at that hour. Everyday I try to get myself out of bed by 6...and if by 7:30 I'm out of it, I consider it an achievement. "Sleeping Early and Waking up Early" is one of the basic techniques to Good Health. I disagreed with that while I was younger, but now I believe it to be absolutely true. Waking up early to a glass of "Lukewarm Water with Lemon", followed by "10 Minutes of Stretching Exercises and Yoga" is the Best Start one can give to one's day. Benefits of Waking Up Early: -- More Time Definitely: Time to plan the day, time to iron clothes, time to have that juice, Time to study -- Rids lethargy somehow... -- Early morning is a great time
