The Persistent option enables the service to trigger if it didn't when it should have previously (e.g because the computer/server was down / off / thrown out the window etc.).
Let's now reload systemd, enable, and enable start the timer:

sudo systemctl daemon-reload
sudo systemctl enable good-morning.timer
sudo systemctl start good-morning.timer |
