Early morning.

When I was young I would get up in the morning, wander out to the kitchen, and there would be my mom and dad, sitting at the table drinking coffee (and smoking). I could not figure out why they would get up so early when they could sleep in if they wanted. I was just a kid so I didn't realize my dad had to go to work and my mom stayed up with six children so her day started early and ended late. Then as I grew up mornings became more of a favorite time for me and then one day, I realized that my biological clock wakes me up early - I mean early like between 4:00 and 5:00 a.m. every day - whether a work day or the weekend. I often write in my journal and my favorite saying is: "when did I become my parents" with all this early morning stuff.

So I admit to being a morning person and by the end of the day (for me 9:00 p.m.) I am ready for bed and don't really care what I am missing. I do believe there are more advantages to being up early than to being up late. However, it does make it tough to vacation with non-morning people - to me the best part of the day is wasted and to them (my husband is included in this) I go to be before the day even realy begins. Sonehow we work it out - I get up early and go out and walk/workout and come back just about the time others are just waking up.

Yes, it is early right now but I have been up for almost 2 hours. See ya'll in the morning.
