Personal starters: What got you out of bed today?

Hey all,

So one of the bits of wisdom I learned from my grandfather was this. That often times, the hardest part of anything in life is just getting started. And as a corollary to that, we need to have a "starter" for ourselves in the mornings to get us going and out of bed.

With those ideals in mind, what was your own personal starter (or starters) that got you going and out of bed today?

For myself today, it was the anticipation that I had for my weekly video-chat with one of my lifelong friends. I feel like having things to look forward to in life is so paramount towards my well-being. :)
