Reveille
1. Eyes pop open, allowing the “sleepies” to crunch, break and fall into the crevices at the side of the socket.
2. Pause. Don’t judge how you feel. It will usually get better.
3. Find your toes and wiggle them slowly, then faster and faster, like you’re five years old on Christmas morning.
4. Pull one foot from under the covers. Give it a full ten seconds to look around.
5. Breathe the air deeply three times. Thank God, you still have oxygen.
6. Allow the leg attached to that foot acting as a scout to slide off the mattress and matriculate to the floor, coaxing the other leg to follow.
7. Immediately say, “I am not dead,” and then try to be glad about it.
8. Two feet down, rub them on the floor like they are learning choreography and this is the first rehearsal.
9. Think something funny.
10. Say it out loud in a funny way.
11. Think of someone who’s mad at you.
12. Grab your phone and text them to forgive, forget or apologize.
13. Stand and reach for the ceiling (ignore all creaking).
14. Go to the bathroom and enjoy Royal Pee (the piss of the gods).
15. Complete your bathroom ritual, known only to you and sacred through your birthright.
16. Emerge and put on the clothes you selected the night before. Never wait ‘til morning to choose your duds. Too much pressure from ignored footwear.
17. Pause. Think up your morning greeting. What will it be? Make it different every day. For instance, “The canary died, but I escaped the mine.” Or “I smell like a living person.”
18. Come to kitchen. Hydrate—drink. See what is available to eat. Choose two.
19. Converse in reverse. Don’t ask people how they are. Tell them how you are, with hopes they will join in.
20. Ask the family pet three humorous questions, but don’t pause for answers.
21. Text someone you love and confirm it.
22. Leave with friendly thoughts.
23. Start your car. Let it idle for one minute.
24. Take that minute to pronounce aloud two things you are grateful for and two things you desire to achieve.
25. Drive off, making sure you are the first one to let someone into traffic in front of you.
