What's your favorite time of day? The one you look forward to the most?

[CaliforniaPeggy]

Mine?

Right now.

We're done having dinner. The kitchen is as clean as I can make it. The DW is running...

I'm here at my computer with some terrific music streaming over the internet...

It is a peaceful, relaxed time of day for me...

And I'm talking to my friends here and on facebook...


What's your favorite time of day? I hope yours is as good as mine is!

1. I like morning, Peg.

I'm always the first one up, and I give myself a long time before I have to dress for work. Bunny the cat meets me at the bedroom door(she's too happy at night for us to have her in the bedroom) and she flings herself down at my feet for the only belly rub of the day she will tolerate. Then we go downstairs, I make coffee, and I feed her and Pidge, the parrot while it brews. They both meow piteously (she's a parrot after all) until they get their morning treats, and then I settle in to check e-mail, catch up on news, and maybe write a little. In summer I open up everything and listen to the birds and the early traffic. Now, in winter, I wait for the sun to come up and enjoy the snuggliness of the morning.

I'm a very social person, but I like the morning solitude a lot.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

3. My dear nolabear!

Now that just sounds wonderful...

If I were a morning person, I'd like that a lot too.

:hi:

[knowbody0]

2. i have a meditation/ceremony

that time each day when day turns to night. at first the birds are really frantically chatty, then slowly turn still. believe it or not, this is a grounding thing for me, I feel powerfully connected to the universe, giant and small at the same time.

peace,

[CaliforniaPeggy]

4. My dear knowbody0...

Ah, that sounds wonderful. I can tell it works really well for you, too...

It must be grand to feel so connected to the universe...

Good for you!

:hi:

[Inchworm]

5. When I worked or went to school, mornings were my favorite time

Coffee, cigarette, walking dogs, and the day quietly waking up.

Now, I like after dark. Quiet, no phone calls, no company dropping in, and petting dogs. (kind of like now as I post this) :)

:hi:

[CaliforniaPeggy]

6. My dear Inchworm...

Ah, flexibility is a good thing...

I see a pattern here, with the responses so far...

We all need a time to ourselves, to regroup from the day, or to get ready for it...

Thanks for sharing, sweetie!

:hi:

[Luciferous]

7. When my children go to bed and everything is peaceful and quiet

:)

[CaliforniaPeggy]

8. My dear Luciferous...

Oh, yes...

I remember those days, lol!

Some day they will grow up, and then you'll have that peaceful time ALL the time!

The way I do now...

:hi:

[fizzgig]

9. snuggling up with my husband at the end of it

we are both the perfect size for the perfect spoon and i haven't found anything that beats having him wrap around me the way he does. plus i usually have one, if not both, of the cats on or right next to me, so i get to go to sleep in the middle a big bundle of love :)

i've never cared for hot weather, but i like it even less now because i don't get my favorite time.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

11. My dear fizzgig!

Ah, that sounds just heavenly!

A big bundle of love...

Enjoy, sweetie...:hug:

[Call Me Wesley]

10. For sure not this ...

It's around 6:40 a. m. here, because Ginger has to get his teeth cleaned at 7:30 a. m. There's no world outside yet.

No wonder Hitler started WWII at 5:45 a. m. I would have done the same thing. Yuk! I'm definitely not a morning person.

Yawn. ;)

[CaliforniaPeggy]

12. My dear Call Me Wesley!

Omigod, I know you're serious!

I'm most definitely not used to seeing you at this hour...

I hear you about not being a morning person....me neither!

I hope Ginger won't give you any trouble about going to get his teeth cleaned...

Maybe you'll get a nap later?

Have a great day, if possible!

:hug:

[Call Me Wesley]

13. Thank you!

I'm up since 6:00 a. m. There's not even a sun out yet ...
Ginger will be fine. The worst thing was that he couldn't eat since 5:00 p. m. yesterday, so he had to head-bang me quite often in my little sleep, and Heidi's on a business trip.

We'll do fine but I can't nap after I'm up.

Perhaps I can snap some sunrise pics on the way; that'll be quite special. :rofl:

[CaliforniaPeggy]

14. Ah, I'm sorry you won't be able to nap...

I take a nap nearly every day, and it allows me to stay up very late!

If you could take some sunrise pics, that would be wonderful!

But I imagine you'll just be wanting to get to Ginger's teeth cleaning without messing around on the way...

And then Ginger will insist on eating as soon as you get home!

:hi:

[kentauros]

15. When I'm asleep.

Whether that's during the day or the night. Then I'm in dreamtime. There's usually less stress there and no overbearing responsibilities ;)

[CaliforniaPeggy]

16. My dear kentauros...

Ah yes....sleep.

Shakespeare said it really well:

---the innocent sleep,
Sleep that knits up the ravell'd sleave of care,
the death of each day's life, sore labour's bath, Balm of hurt minds, great nature's second course, chief nourisher in life's feast.

This is one of my favorite quotes by him. It's from Macbeth. I have it written down in my little blank book...

Sweetest of dreams!

[kentauros]

17. It's a good quote

Thanks, Peggy!

Sweet dreams when you go down for the night, too :hi:

[CaliforniaPeggy]

19. Thanks, kentauros!

I expect to sleep quite well, since I went to the gym today.

:hi:

[AsahinaKimi]

18. My dear Ms Peggy

Somewhere between Midnight and 2am.. When life is quiet, and I can sit with my friends and chat on the internet. Some of whom, live far across the Pacific in the Ancient lands of my ancestors!

[CaliforniaPeggy]

20. My dear AsahinaKimi!

I hear that...

I used to stay up that late for the same reasons, but now I tend to go to sleep a bit earlier...

I love how the internet has connected us to so many good people, some relatives, and some friends...

And the cultural connection must be very powerful for you!

:hi:

[kimi]

21. Hmmm, it varies

But generally, whenever I get the big chores out of the way during the day (or evening) and flop down somewhere and Mr Wiggles, my one true lapcat, jumps up and snuggles into me and I can pick up a book and just veg out.

Usually late evening.

Good question!! :hi:

[CaliforniaPeggy]

22. My dear kimi!

Thanks! I thought it was a good question too!

And your happy time sounds a lot like mine...even though I don't have a cat anymore...

Enjoy yourself!

:hi:

[IcyPeas]

23. I have 2

the minute I leave work

and

the minute I walk back into my apartment.

ahhh bliss

[CaliforniaPeggy]

24. My dear IcyPeas!

Now, those sound absolutely wonderful!

Enjoy, sweetie...

[Phentex]

25. Early morning...first cup of coffee...

just me and my husband having coffee and talking about everything and nothing. Two dogs nearby, one of them snoring.

Before the rush begins...

:)

[CaliforniaPeggy]

26. My dear Phentex...

Now, that sounds lovely...

We need to find that time that suits us, and I think you have!

Hope your day is terrific...

:hi:

[sammytko]

39. Me too

First taste of delicious coffee is the best.

[RandomThoughts]

27. There is a bit of a problem with that. function not data

To accept that there are funny moments in my situations is a trap. There are some things that use anxiety to try to use that as an excuse for control.

Basically it says that if you are not happy, then that is why you don't do or are not somewhere. For instance I don't have much fun at the bars, but that is not the point. Because sometimes I do have fun at the bars.


But here is the point about some usages of control. There are things that say you are happier in some place, then make you feel bad by trying to harass you when you are not there. That is terrorism.

That is a dictator saying if you don't submit to them, then they will make it hard on you.

There are things that make something less fun with harassment, then say you can't be there because you weren't happy there.


It is a delusion for control. Or in other words, there is some joy in songs and music, but there is joy in museums and travel, and poker and pool also, and when there is some hardship there, that does not make the joy less, but more. However some people make the hardship to try and tell you that is why you can't be somewhere. That is ridiculous and terrorism.


Also why it is beer and travel money that is due to me, not power, not control, not status or position. But what is due must be paid, because it should not have been used to try and control who and what I am. And someone will send me the beer and travel money that is due.

28. Right around 4:20PM,

sometimes 4:20 AM on the rare occasion I am up that early :)

[here_is_to_hope]

30. lulz.... eom

[here_is_to_hope]

29. Well...

Hot tub at 0500 with the lap top, catch up on DU of course, I have no other need for news sources.
0600...make lunch for the wife, wake up the daughter, get her breakfast order...
Feed the kid, feed the parakeet, the bunny, the cats and finally, leftovers for the dog.
0700... coffee in bed for the wife with a wake up nuzzle, and then NSFW...lulz...
Give the kid a weather report so she can dress appropriately.
0745...
Out the door to school for the girl, back home at 0800 to sit with the wife and chat about the day, make plans, whatever, just our time.
Off to work for her at 0900...
And then?
Crank the stereo, clean the house...its 1620 somewhere...and check the surf conditions.
If there is surf, I go surfing, no surf? I clean the house some more, work on the cars, the house, whatever...
Yeah, I have it good.

[hippywife]

31. Right now, during winter...

it is crawling into bed at night between flannel sheets and warm cotton and fleece blankets. Other times of the year, it's the early hours of the morning when it seems the rest of the world is still in bed, even though I know it's not.

:hug:

[driver8]

32. When I get home from work and my kids run to greet me at the door...

It is the BEST!!

[raccoon]

33. When I get home from work! nt

[bif]

34. Two actually

The first is early in the morning when I'm on the rowing machine watching a movie on my laptop. the second is in the evening when I'm in the kitchen, listening to music, sipping on a glass of wine cooking dinner.

[mcollins]

35. Dawn.

Love the look of the sky as the sun starts to brighten it.

I'm always up then anyway.

[Swede]

36. Nap time,after supper.

And,no I am not getting old.

[mikeytherat]

37. Just before sunset - the "remains of the day."

[Crystal Clarity]

38. For me, it's first thing in the morning and a good cup of coffee

Provided that I've gotten a full night's sleep. Sometimes insomnia has me up earlier then I'd like.

But yeah, I'm definitely a morning person. Love reading DU and gtting caught up on the news w/a hot cup of Hazelnut coffee! :9... :hi:

[pacalo]

40. Peggy, my favorite time of the day is the same as yours for the same reasons.

The work is done & I'm on my time. Got my headphones on, listening to my favorite oldies & visiting DU.





:hi:

[david13]

41. I like all times of the day. I like just having another day to live.

I like getting up in the morning, seeing the sun, greeting my cats, eating something, and drinking coffee; I like lunch; I like to work and work on different things, or just chores; I like coming home, eating, watching tv, if there is anything on (rare); I like playing with the internet; I like sleeping.
Eating is one of my favorite times, if the food is good. I'm thin, I've always been on a diet (trying to GAIN weight).
I like sleeping. I have a difficultly knowing if I like eating or sleeping better. It may be sleeping, but, because I'm asleep, I don't realize it.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

42. Thanks, everybody...

I apologize for having abandoned you!

I've been kind of busy this afternoon, but I wanted to let you know I've read all your responses!

You have made it a very cool thread, and I'm happy to have all of you participating!

:grouphug:

[femmocrat]

43. That is also my favorite time of day.

Friday evening, right after dinner, is the best time of the entire week.

[mopinko]

44. bed time. when i get to give up on another day.

[Joe Fields]

45. My favorite time of day? When I get to talk to the woman I love...

Doesn't matter what time it is. It is the moment I look forward to, until that time happens.

[grasswire]

46. the golden hour -- the hour before sunset

...when everything is in a painterly glow as the slanted light touches things in a way that only that hour brings. I always remember to look outside then and admire whatever nature has brought to my attention. Sometimes, it's bitty clouds scudding across the gold/blue sky like so many cotton balls. Sometimes, like today, it's a hundred robins in the bare garden trees -- their breasts were intense with color and their chirping the very harbinger of spring.

That's my favorite time of day. The golden hour. My mom used to call me on the phone and say "Quick! Look outside! It's the golden hour!"
