I love the night

I am one of the people you might call "early risers" . I love to wake up early and watch television, go off to the gym and come back and work on my blogs, come up with ideas for school and find out the news before the rest of the world wakes up. That is easy to do in my house because I am at least up 3 to 4 hours before anyone else.

There is something mysterious about being up before dawn almost spiritual. You can't just get up however, you have to do something, run, walk, write study, something but you can't say you are up and continue to sleep while the t.v. is on. It is said that Thomas Jefferson did not let the sunrise catch him in bed. He began his day in the dark, reading, writing and planning our nation's future. He probably got more done before sunrise that most of us get done all day.

With the exception of owning 300 slaves, I try to pattern my life after Thomas Jefferson in the sense that I try to start my day early with purpose. As I write this, piece, I have already been up for 5 hours. See you tomorrow. Early!!!
