Recently we were heading back from a day at an amusement park, and had stopped late in the evening at an all night local diner for a quick bite to eat. We looked over the menu - and it had the usual fare from hamburgers to eggs served around the clock. Then my youngest, 7 year old Ryan was asked what he wanted to order he said "I want morning food." I cracked up- I always called it breakfast food- but it is typically eaten in the morning so why not call it morning food?
Like Ryan, I like morning food anytime of the day. There is something comforting about eggs and toast- or pancakes. Since my mornings begin before 5 a.m- it is my sacred time of the day. I love to wake and get my day organized: breakfast set up for the kids, making their bag lunches for school, get the cats fed, laundry started, dishes unloaded from the dishwasher- grab the newspaper , check email- maybe squeeze in some writing or editing- and write my daily to do list. It's a fresh start with a brand new day full of possibilities. Maybe that's why I also like morning food- it reminds me of all of the newness a new day brings- even if its late in the evening.
