Receta In the Morning
A year ago, if you had told me that I would become a morning person, I would have laughed in your face! Well, maybe not “in your face” but I would have definitely laughed and then shrugged it off, because I had never been a morning person.
My bestie Alex can tell you, I rarely looked forward to waking up. When she and I would car pool to work together she got to see Morning Marlow in full effect. I wasn’t grumpy, just quiet. In actuality, I think I was probably sleeping with my eyes open.
But over the past year, I have slowly but surely taken control of my body clock and woken up earlier and earlier. I would read all these healthy living blogs, where they were getting more accomplished during 5:30 and 8:00am than I could get done in a day. I hated feeling like my life revolved around my job, and so I decided to try.
This morning I woke up on my own at 6:45, and even though my alarm was set for a full hour later, I decided to go ahead and shower. I felt rested and ready.
When I wake up early, it’s just me, Max, and the shadows of the morning. I love this time of the morning. It’s quiet and hopeful.
Twice a week, I wake up at 5:45 for my very part time job. And I’m sort of becoming addicted to my life at 6am. I’m wondering if I will eventually wake up around 6am, even when I’m not working that early.
PLUS waking up early gives me the time to make breakfast and blog about it!
