i have aways had a problem waking up early in the morning.....i remember mom used to drag me out of the bed to go for school at the crack of dawn(some insane official decided 7 am is a very earthly hour for school....which of course translated to being at the bus stop by 6 and consequently being up between 5-5:30am).....i am more of a night person....night is when i am awake, alive and moving around....call me an owl..but the night is really my day...mornings...now thats a different story altogether....i ease into the day....i need my coffee....i need my tea(yes...both!).....and then i am ready for the world afterwards.....
yet...this week's been strikingly different...my wife's a morning person....and with daylight saving kicking in a few days back....our usual routine found us returning home in pitch dark(we are not talking 10-11 in the night but 6 in the evening).....so she decided we(well isnt that the way most things go...besides i am a light sleeper...so if she's up...i am up)should wake up early...
so there i was at the crack of dawn....catching public transport to work....half expecting to fall asleep during the day....but surprisingly i have quite taken to it...i find i like being at work before most people....its quiet and i can get started and be in full gear before the day sets in fully....i get a few extra hours in and get to leave on time....but mostly i love my ride to work in the morning....i get to see the sky going from the deepest of blues to the morning sky........occasionally if i am lucky...i get to see the sunrise by the lake....it does look gorgeous with all the beautiful colours spread across the sky....almost like someone spilt their paint and water over the blue canvas....the ride's 15 mins shorter as there is no traffic....
lets see if i can follow the early to rise routine for a while....for now i am just loving it:)
