My Daily Haunts

What are your favorite websites?

The alarm rings. The Keurig starts brewing. I weigh in. My phone greets me “Good morning Kiki” and Alexa turns on my lights.

First up is a selection on Apple’s “Aura”. There are thousands of meditations and selections to choose from. I’m proud to say that this morning I completed my 1,647th day on Aura.

After Aura it’s a click on to the New York Times site to complete Wordle. I try not to miss a day. Some days this hurts my brain but I am fiercely loyal and competitive with myself each morning. Five letters can really fire me up at 5:30 a.m.

After Wordle I am midway through cup one of black coffee (with my scoop of collagen). I open Instagram. There are hundreds of pages I follow which range from dance instructors to Spartan Races to cute dog videos. Last year I stumbled upon a gentleman from my area who tragically lost his son in a car accident four years ago. Every morning he makes a video in his car just talking about the need to keep going and never giving up. I will not miss a day with this guy. I’ve never met him and probably never will but I’m drawn to his messages and hope.

Later in the day after the gym is complete, dinner is done, and the laundry is folded, I can be found scrolling through Pinterest. Here I’m bombarded with new style ideas, messy bun hair styles, new tattoo ideas, recipes for anything lemon, and outdoor landscaping ideas.

Thanks to all of you for being a part of my new world. Spending time here on Jetpack and WordPress is a gift. You all know how to make this blogger smile and appreciate our craft of writing.

  5. I been meaning to branch out to Pinterest, but I can’t figure it out. So, not social media smart. That instagram post you are taking about sounds interesting. I’ll have to check out that “Aura” thingy, my iPad runs my life. Thanks for sharing …Peace

  6. Peace! Hope all is going well. Cheering you on here! Pinterest is mind numbing. Great for zoning out on my iPad for sure. Instagram though is my biggest time grabber. My mind is pulled in so many directions there. Squirrel!
