My Personal History Daily Question #19   (4 comments, 80 views) Monday, 31 July 2006

What is your favorite time of the day and why?

This is an easy question.  I am a morning person. I love to get up early. Every morning I spend some time sitting on my patio before the sun comes up, listening to the birds wake up. This morning Mr. Robin was the first one up (it's always a race between Mr. Robin and Mr. Cardinal).  He sat on the edge of my new roof and called to his mate to "wake up, it's a new day!"

During my high school and party days, I tried to be a night owl like my friends, but that's just not me.  Both of my parents were morning people.  I always awoke to the smells of coffee brewing and breakfast cooking.

I have always worked 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. and have always envied those who ended their workday at 3 p.m.  By the time I get home at 5:30 and fix some dinner, it's almost time for bed. 

Internal clocks are funny, and I think mine is in the minority.  It just ticks to a different beat.    Right now dh works in a different time zone, so he has to get up around 4:00 a.m. and leave the house at 5:00 a.m.  That's fine with me.  I get up at 4:00 and have plenty of time to sit on the patio before work, and listen to the birds wake up.

 


 
Don't you love being a morning person. I am also. After reading your blog, wonder if it's a gene thing,lol. I also awoke to the smell of breakfast cooking every morning. My mom never let me sleep in like most teenagers. Now I'm thankful for that. Even if I go to bed late, I'm up early.

A kindred spirit! I love the early part of day. I like the sense of life just beginning. It never mattered to me either whether it was a raining grey day or a day that had potential of sunshine. The mystery of the grey of winter and the excitement of a summer day both were worth the time to greet it. I like the idea of a patio though..I need to get with DH and work on a deck!
