I get up at 5 AM almost every day of the week.  I try and sleep in on Saturdays but that inner alarm clock wins some weeks and I’m still up at five.

This is MY time.  Time for me to say Catch up on emails, Exercise, Read, Drink some Tea or Coffee, Work, etc.  There’s a lot a mom can do between 5 AM and 7 AMish when “They” rise.  They is my family.  The ones who need me all day and I lose sight of myself.  So to not be lost forever this is what I’ve become accustomed to doing.

Mornings where I’m doing computer work I always have this beautiful view of the sun rising and the beautiful dawn colors.  I love that when I look up I don’t feel like I’m in Los Angeles but up in the mountains away from it all.

This is from today.  What a beautiful morning it’s turning out to be.
