Day one…

Though this is certainly unimpressive by most standards of people my age, I accomplished something this morning that I just had to jot down.
I stayed awake after feeding my dogs at 7:22am.
Seriously, this is a big step for me. I’ve been lazing around since the spring semester ended in May, getting up around 9am or later (lately, *later*). And I’ve been sluggish all day. And, as usual, I tell myself I need to get up and stay up. Yet, it never works. I’m not naturally a morning person, in terms of jumping out of bed and otherwise springing to life. I’ll go to bed thinking, “I will get up and do X, Y, and Z…” but then morning rolls around and though I mumble to myself that I need to get up, I wind up snuggling deep into my pillows deciding the moment is better in bed than elsewhere.
But, I absolutely LOVE being awake early! Especially during the summer in Texas – the air is at its coolest. And, things are so quiet and serene. And this morning, I did it! Let’s see if tomorrow I can repeat the event.
