It is that time of year again, the sun rises late, and it sets early. We still have 24 hours in the day, but it seems like the days are shorter. It gets harder and harder to get up early because we are met with a dark morning. Our internal clocks seem out of whack with the way the day starts, and it can lead to a slow go to the day. But we cannot give in to the vagaries of the day and the time that the sun rises. We need to stay true to our morning routine and get moving and engaged with the day, regardless of whether the sun is up or not. Yes, it is a challenge but it is the kind of challenge that we can overcome. We just have to remind ourselves that it is the same day, 24 hours long, and we made a commitment to a daily routine, regardless of sunlight, or rain, or any other element that we cannot control. So, let’s get after it and appreciate the dark morning just as much as we appreciate any other morning. OH yea!!

Loving life on a dark morning
