Thoughtful Morning

I got up early this morning....VERY early and have had a interesting time. Funny how early mornings are different than late nights. My tendency is to stay up late and then sleep late. Yet mornings have a beautiful solitude that nights just don't seem to contain.

More peaceful. More focused. More introspective.

And the introspections that happen in the morning are so unique. Not nearly as prone to be filled with self-recriminations and long sessions with the "big ugly stick". Maybe that has to do with the prospect of a day ahead. I still haven't "failed" yet today. I haven't messed up on yet another goal. I haven't dropped the ball for someone else. Haven't screwed up my goal of using positive communication and yelled at my son (or husband). And on and on...

Quiet. A different kind of quiet. Not only is the family asleep....except for the cat who was thrilled I was up so could give him another can of food!....my harsh treatment of myself is quiet as well. I am much softer with myself in the morning.

Interesting...

I can still be a "night owl". Maybe I just need to use a different part of the "night".

Very interesting....
