I'm by nature a night owl. But several years ago I decided as a spiritual discipline to begin rising super-early. This was only partially successful...what do Type A people do when they're up earlier? Why, start the washing machine and maybe do a little vacuuming, too. :3oops:
The surprise was discovering that I liked being up early. I appreciate the silence and the early cuppa, staying in bed until 7 is wasting the day. But I also really like to stay up late, so maybe Our Miss Emily was right about burning the candle at both ends?
I love the quiet of the dead of night and the morning is not so peaceful sometimes, but I don't mind being up early. I've been going out before dawn to get the dogs out and I have to say, the sunrise is magnificent. When the clouds are not obscuring it.
I think Our Miss Emily was quite right though.
