Early morning or late night depending on the person.

It always takes me by surprise when I actually drive somewhere at 4 am and I am not the lone car on the road. It is amazing how many folks are actually out and about at these early mornings. My usual is just walking my local streets and those are usually empty of others at these early hours.

Will have to find new places to stroll early mornings. I will have to walk them in the daylight a few times to feel safe before I trudge along during the early morning dark hours. Time for that later I think.

So Thursday arrives nice and early. So much to do and it seems to feel like it is starting to catch up with me on just how much it is. Stress, a non-favorite feature. One likes to keep it to a minimum, however it seems to be visible these days.

I am sitting at my desk watching another incredible sunrise peek over the mountains. With the pink and orange hues shooting brightly across the sky reflecting off of the surrounding buildings. I love these mornings. Cold and totally beautiful. Saw some snow earlier even. That must have been the key I missed as a child, get up in the middle of the night during winter and you odds of actually seeing the snow were higher. Seems so this year.

Work lies ahead with chaos abound. Home just past that chaos with more of its own. One sick child to hopefully drag along and entice into putting up some holiday cheer in the new place. So much to do and time seems to just keep on ticking.

Soon is one will sit back and rest. Looking forward to it.

Peace.
