On being up.
Sometimes, as of late, I find that rather than dreading the coming of dawn (my typical response) I have been enjoying being awake early. I find it peaceful, and it gives me time to think. Even on days when I haven't gotten enough sleep I have been more awake than I have any right to be. The only downside is that I no longer seem to sleep in as well as I did before. All and all I think I can live with that. I like the idea of starting each day as if on purpose.
