Besides work and bathroom, what is your reason to get out of bed?
« on: September 13, 2018, 04:16:54 pm »
Besides having to go to the bathroom or go to work, what keeps you going?  I don't really have one anymore.  Now that my horses are gone, there is no reason to get up or go outside.  They were my reason to get up and get outside every day.  I had 2 of my granddaughters visit for the summer and they were a reason to get up but, they have gone back home now.

I get up out of bed to exercise first thing in the morning... the endorphins become addictive & I miss it when I don't do it.  It's hard initially to start up to exercise, but after a couple weeks, it becomes second nature.

That is why it is important for people to have companion animals... like a dog or a cat -- or like your horses, it gives people a reason to get up.

When I have an emergency not worth postponing.

Making money online is a reason to get out of bed.

I can't really think of a good reason.   But I keep on getting up every morning.  8) 8)

generally the first time I get up is to let the dog out to do his business.

Things to  do, places to go. I am not one for staying in bed, maybe because  I was not able to  for the longest time. first going to school, then  being a farmer/ranchers wife for years, plus the kids  having to get up and go to school. Then being on my own working than then going to school on top of it.  It just i never seemed to have the time to sty in bed.

I have children, grand-children, and now two great-grand-children.

I believe God gave me this life, and He alone can decide when I will no longer get up.

I am sorry you are not happy. We all go trough times like that.

Have you thought of moving close to those grandkids? They are a great motivator.

Lying in bed isn’t a waste of time when you’re not feeling well.
