Last week, I saw a post that said "Now I get why my grandma woke up early to have a lil coffee by herself girl me too"...

It brought back so many memories of watching my grandma waking up early every morning with her coffee and cross stitch, even when we were on vacation.

I used to think she was crazy for waking up so early when she could sleep in, but man do I get it now! ;)

It might sound a little corny, but my grandma was pretty much my soul mate. We always had a really special bond and after my mom passed away, she filled in that role for me. She was that one person that really understood me more than anyone else, and it's been hard not having her around anymore, at least not on a physical level.

Reading this one little quote has made me feel so connected to her every morning as I do my morning yoga/meditation/coffee routine and it makes me really happy. I feel like I now get to carry on this tradition in my own way.

Cheers to all of the moms and grandmas getting up early with their coffee for a few precious moments of peace and quiet. I see you and I am you. :)
