Guest post by Kimberly Edwards, IRSM Secretary, and Michelle J. Goff's sister:

What gets you going in the morning? I mean what gets you going after you get out of bed after you have pressed snooze three times?  A song, a prayer, a gentle nudge from a four legged, wet-nosed friend?  For me it is a song. In high school, I would set my cd player to wake me up to music so I would have a gentle reminder to get out of bed. Music soothes my soul most of the time.

I remember one time in high school, I set my alarm to wake me up to a cd I borrowed from my sister, so I wasn't as familiar with it. Well, that next morning as my alarm was going off, all I remember in my sleepy state was a sense of peace and calm and perfection. Let me paint the picture. It was a beautiful fall day with huge fluffy clouds in the sky.   The sun was already up and the room I was sleeping in had this huge window with an arch at top that I chose to not cover because I loved having the natural light come in.

When it came time for the alarm to go off, the beautiful instruments lulled me awake to semi-consciousness and I felt like I was in heaven. Since I am not loquacious, it is difficult to put into words, the feelings that I felt, but, I still remember that first moment of awareness and I felt as if the angels were singing and I was in heaven. What a beautiful way to be greeted in the morning!

What song wakes you up or gets you going in the morning?  Does it focus your thoughts on heaven?
