A toast to my fellow early birds
I am my father's son, which is to say that I operate on very little sleep. When I was a little boy and used to ask my father why he awakened well before dawn seven days a week, he used to say, "I'll sleep enough when I'm dead." Admittedly, it was a much funnier line before he dropped dead forty years ago...at age fifty-seven.
Nevertheless, I am who I am, which is why my father's youngest child, who is fast approaching the age my father was when he died, awakens before dawn seven days a week. It is a lifestyle choice that is not for everyone, which is 100% fine. It is not meant to be. It does not need to be.

One of the positives about my retirement has been the slow weaning off of the 'Up at Dawn's crack' of too many years (I sleep in most days now until about seven). https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SO1QUy-HTHQ
ReplyDeleteOnly in our family can someone say "sleeping in until about seven" and mean it
ReplyDeleteBased on the time stamp of your reply I may have already been asleep when you wrote it (sigh).
