Early Mornings

I think that I have fallen in love with waking up early. Earlier than I actually need to, on most days. I sometimes just lay in my bed, take a nice long stretch, breathe a nice big breath and literally try and jump out of bed...(which most of the time fails miserable and that usually sets in stone how my day is going to go) I then rush down stairs and make breakfast, go to Curves with my mom, or go running for the 5k that i'm training ( I actually coped out of running yesterday because...it was too cold...lame excuse I know. I just get to make it up. Yay!)
And then get ready for the day, yesterday I hardly got ready for the day.
I was wearing a red undershirt under a white wifebeater underneath a red flowing wrap. I had my hair very simply curled pulled back away from my face with a white headband...I'm not trying to be conceited, but i've never gotten so many compliments in my life. Seriously?!? I just don't have to try and then guys will notice and talk to you? Weird...
I also love mornings because the sun isn't quite up all the way yet so you can see what the world is really like. Not too many cars on the road, and the world just seems an ounce tad quiter for the few last seconds of dawn time. I like it, so I like waking up early. And I think everyone should intentionally try it once or twice and soon realize that it's nice having a few hours before school to have to yourself and just relax. The day seems to go a little bit smoother and things that would normally irritate, slide right off the shoulder. Yay for little tender mercies.

Waking up early definitely has its benefits. But sleeping in is awesome.

I love this! How cheerful. I know what you mean about that wake-up-early feeling.

Yes, I love that, too. Except on days when I have to be at work by 7, so I already wake up by 5:45. Don't really want to wake up at 3:45 to have a couple of hours those days.

I like this post :)
