Once we've done that, we are able to go through our new day with the chance to make better choices.
What's a nice good morning message?
When it comes to making sure the people who are most important to us have a good morning too, sending a joke, poem, or heartfelt text they'll see when they first wake up can make a major impact.
So to help you get the day off to the best start possible, here are some of the best good morning messages for friends that will inspire them and make them smile.
