seeing the sun rise

i've always been more of a morning person than a night person, but that never meant i actually got up early.

but then you get older and you realize that when you come home from work you don't feel like doing much.

i've also found a wonderful feeling when you crawl out of bed knowing you have hours until you have to leave for work. when the sun is just brushing the sky with gold and pink. when everything is quiet and fresh.

so matt & i decided to try to get up earlier.

yesterday morning i paid bills, read the news, reflected on scripture, ate breakfast, got ready, did dishes, and fed our dogs all before i had to leave for work. and that was getting out of bed later than i wanted to.

maybe friday i'll start running again.

the pathetic part about it is that i start to crash around 9 or 10pm now.

regardless, i'm loving it.
