I’ve always been an early riser, As a kid I’d drive my parents nuts on weekends. I’m up at 6 and they’re trying to sleep. When I went into the army, the sergeant waking us up at 4:30 a.m. was a piece of cake. I was ready to go. I still wake up early. I set my alarm for 5:15 a.m. I’m awake by 5. My alarm never goes off. I’ve always carried an excitement within me about the day ahead. I don’t want to take a moment longer snoozing. There is too much to do, too many people to see, and wonderful places to go to. Life is a wonderful adventure. Where are you off to today? What exciting plans are you putting into play?
“When one begins to think of oneself as growing old, one is already old (Elsie de Wolfe).” I know folks well up in their nineties who still retain the heart and spirit of a young child. I can see the young boy or girl sparkling in their eyes and in the excitement for living in their voices. They have not stopped dreaming and believing good things are waiting up the road for them. After all, what is age but a number.
For me there’s only one way to begin day. I fill my cup with child-like excitement anticipating all the good things this day will bring to me. No hanging out in bed, times a wasting. I have places to go, people to see, and things to do. And, I’ll carry my coffee cup with me. Have a great day.
