on being a morning person

Morning in El Salvador by "A", my 17 year old son
..What I Love About Morning

• the sounds of the early birds outside my window, especially when it's warm enough to sleep with the window open.


• watching the sunrise.


• being up before anyone else. ("D" is more of a morning person than me, so I rarely beat him up. But still. I used to love getting up before my kids...I'd try to quietly ease out of bed in hopes that I could do it without waking them up!)


• quiet streets.


• getting an early start. (Anything you get done before breakfast feels like a win!)


• waking up early enough to read in bed.


• hearing the murmurs of groups of women walking early on a cool summer morning. 


• watching the world wake up.


• on a clear day, that band of pink and blue that rings the horizon at dawn.
