A Spring in My Step
What causes you to get out of bed with a "spring in your step"? (when you don't have something special to look forward to)
And this would cause me to literally SPRING OUT OF BED: the alarm that failed to ring the waking hour.
But once out of bed, there are at least a couple of things that could put a jaunty spring to my step. Maybe even a gleam in my eye.
Citrus. Lemon, lime or orange.
In my morning shower and spritz, it's a clean and refreshing fragrance. Invigorating. It can increase my happiness levels by - oh, about 500% percent :)
In my lunch salad. Losing even 5 kilos will definitely lighten my frame enough to let me be-bop all the way to the work, all around the office, all day long ^-^
And then, there's my music of the moment.
I think, if you play it loud enough through sufficiently bassy headphones, the pounding bass is enough to put a spring in the step of even the most jaded old grump. The last song that made me feel so irrepressibly bouncy was MJ's bomb track 'Rock With You' from his album Number One.
... and crisp clean sheets to fall asleep in, in a flush of contentment :)
