I’m not sure if it’s the jet lag or something else but my body has been eager to wake up around 3am and 6am this past week or so. I’ve decided not to fight it and I’ve enjoyed the benefits of being up early. Sitting in the morning, listening to the birds and watching the day begin has been quite calming. I use this new found time in the morning to write my blog and drink my tea. This is a routine I could get used to!
