Grateful Because

I grew up a night person. As a kid I would be awake still by the time my parents went to bed.

As a teen I would see the hours tick away at night as the early morning and my summer job approached.

Family changed that first. With kids there is no sleeping late. Ever. It soon gets to the point where you get up at 8 and feel elated because you “slept out”.

These days I’m a morning person by choice. I get up early. 6AM, aiming to slowly dial it back to 5:30 even.

First thing I do is a shower. How can anyone stay asleep, feel groggy, when you’re standing under running water?

The feel is rejuvenating.  Life giving. Splendid. Rich.

Thank You for water; Thank You for morning showers that make me feel so good.
