What makes you jump out of bed every morning with excitement and a smile (no, not that either) and why?

If nothing excites you about each day, what would you do to change that?

Music. Definitely music. When I'm preparing for something really big, like a concert or a big wedding or something, I usually can't even sleep the night before... If I do, I dream about the music, or performing the music... Once I even had the strangest dream the night before a concert -- that I was lost in a page of sheet music climbing from line to line and dangling from the notes!

When I'm seated at the piano and I'm playing, I can shut the entire world out. It's like beyond sublime--it's when I most feel at home--comfortable, it's hard to explain. I can be stuck in two hours of rush-hour traffic, and thinking about music i'm about to play can make it seem like 5 minutes.

I don't think I'd go so far as to say that I live for music, but I definitely don't think my life would be the same at all if I were unable to make music.

Great Topic Zeb...
I would have to say my cats wanting their breakfast
I really do love waking up to the sweetest faces ... their unconditional love is overwhelming! There is so much to get up for in life... the trick is to not take it for granted!

I have more on this later!

ROFLMAO, what makes me jump out of bed? Well truthfully, I don't usually jump out of bed! I'm not a good "morning person". Notwithstanding, I meet the day with anticipation. The main reason is I'm thankful the Big Guy let me live another day on earth and I didn't die in my sleep! (lol though that wud be the way I'd want to go). The other is, my son. I've referred to him numerous times in here. I commit myself to giving him what ever guidance he needs, teaching him about what lessons I've learned. And just the great feeling of seeing a young person, so full of life and jest for the future.

Missed the last question. What wud I do to change the day if nothing excited me? I'm a news addict. I'd probably turn on CNN and see whats happening in the world. Or I'd grab an old favorite book and maybe re-read it. Usually something like The Fires Of Spring, by James A. Michener. I'd call a friend and arrange to do something.

Well, this is an interesting topic. Like Vyk, I'm not a morning person as far as hitting the floor full speed. I do, however, get up with a sense of purpose, and a certain anticipation of the upcoming day. Since I like my job so well, that one is obvious to me---I look forward to getting to participate in the various things I do in order to help my company manage waste. Pretty non- glorious, although a challenge; requires brain work, and having a firm grip of what the big picture is all about really helps.

I look forward to the energy others can bring to life...some positive, some of it is negative. Yet we all must learn to handle both, so I welcome both. I like the idea of gaining wisdom whenever possible, which requires the use of all of my senses, my brain and my heart, all workng together.

I am enthusiastic about the concept that "Success is a journey, not a destination". I really like being on that journey!!
