FW: morning light

I love this time of year. The days get shorter. I still get up at the same time every day, but now it’s dark when I wake up. I raise the curtains and go to work in the front room in the cool gray light of dawn. I get to see the sunrise.

I’m not a morning person. It’s not that I don’t like mornings. I love being awake and about before dawn, I just don’t like anything about the process that gets me from being asleep in a warm cozy bed to being awake and about.

In a few weeks, we’ll lose daylight savings time. The days will still get shorter, but they won’t get back to me being up before the sun. Will I set my alarm for six instead of seven?..... I don’t think so.
