Wander project in the morn before the family wakes…

I suspect I own my dad and mom and apology. When I was younger and living in their house, I did not get up in the morning well. Well isn’t the right word I suspect my mother and father would have (or would) both say at all. I was not a morning person early in life. I didn’t become a morning person until I was out of College and teaching school. Then I had to be able to function highly in the morning. The kids would arrive with news, information, and things to share every day. I taught 2nd grade, so the reality for me was the kids were still happy to be in school. For me, that was the beginning of my becoming a morning person. It was funny because, for a long time, I worked for a night owl company.

When you get up early, you can get a lot done before the world starts. Now I get up and start my blogs and other personal things first in the am. Sometimes that reality bleeds into lunch. But for the most part, I am on to my workday by around 7 am or so. It is funny because there was a long time as a kid that I never saw at 7am. We had to be at school by 8 am, in my book that meant getting up right before the bus would arrive (around 7:20 am). My parents didn’t agree with that philosophy. They were always trying to get me to get up earlier in the morning. Funny, now I do the same thing with my kids. Try to get them to wake up earlier in the morning.

Mornings, as the time to get things done.

I like the mornings now. I suspect it is the natural progression. Now I even enjoy waking up early. There are times when the world is quiet, that I can get so much done. I guess as we get older, we find the places and times that work for us. For me now, it is early morning. Of course, that also means that I end up going to sleep earlier and earlier overall.

  1. I like the morning quiet when it is cool and everyone is still in bed. But I am not a morning person. I can work and stay up late. I like mostly the hours when the world is all quiet and it is just me staring up in the sky amazed and wondering about how different that world up there is.

  2. Fran does not look like she was a morning person either. I greatly suffered when I worked in NYC I hated getting up early and I hated going to bed early. I think I came awake at work when it came to noontime and lunch. Now I keep my mobile phone to ring on 8 AM and that is when I get up even if I did not go to bed too late or I sleep until 9 AM but not later.

  3. I have been an early morning person since high school. Even when I sleep at ten or eleven, I usually wake up between 3-4 unless I force myself to sleep.
    Mornings is a good time to finish doing most things including washing clothes and utensils.
