Morning Thinking

I do most of my major thinking on my early morning walks with the dogs. I love the early morning because it is quiet, with very few people out and about yet.


Our early mornings have been getting a few minutes later each day due to the lengthening night and the shortening day. I don't mind the darkness but it is very hard to pick up dog poo in the dark. Soon I will need to suck it up and wear my headlamp in order to keep my "early" mornings early.

I am always pondering something in the morning, whether it is what I have to accomplish for the day groceries, appointments, what to make for supper or what to do this weekend.

This morning I had a bunch of blog post ideas running around in my head. What always frustrates me is that I will think of these great sentences for a post, but by the time I get home I have forgotten the exact wording and then the sentence isn't so great anymore.

So today I tried something different, I pulled out my phone and started dictating my thoughts and sentences in the note section on my phone. That worked like a charm, one hand for the dog leashes and one for my phone. 

It is so nice to be writing this now, looking at the notes on my phone and knowing I got those sentences exactly the way I wanted them when I was doing my thinking this morning.

I have the same problem forgetting the way I want to word things, so this is a great idea I will adopt!
