The Morning Routine

Maria wakes up at seven o'clock every morning. She turns off her alarm, stretches her arms, and walks slowly to the kitchen.

The first thing she does is make coffee. She loves the smell of fresh coffee. While the coffee is ready, she opens the window and listens to the birds outside.

After coffee, Maria takes a shower and gets dressed. She always checks the weather on her phone before choosing her clothes. Today it is sunny, so she picks a yellow dress.

She eats a simple breakfast — toast and an egg. While she eats, she reads a few pages of her book. No news in the morning. Only good things.

At eight-thirty, she grabs her bag and leaves the house. She smiles when she steps outside. A new day is starting, and she is ready.
