And that may not sound "too early" by many people's standards, but when I'm not usually up until 7:00am, that missing 1.25 hours is a killer. I'd much rather stay up late, go to bed with everything handled, then wake up a little later. Verses going to bed early with a big To-Do list waiting for me to wake up early and hit the floor running. That's just not the way I prefer to start my day.
Even the logical argument that if there's consequences I will do it doesn't apply. Or it didn't until very recently. Even when I was on college swim team I was perfectly willing to skip 6am practice and take the consequence of 2 afternoon practices rather than get up early. I went almost an entire year of 2 afternoon practices and only made a tiny handful of morning practices. My coach was exceptionally annoyed, but I was quite content ;-)
But this morning I was in the gym by 6:45 am, and will be for the rest of the week because my afternoons are jam-packed with things that need done before I leave for a 2 week "vacation." And I say that with emphasis because it's to visit my parents in Minnesota for a few days, before going up to see my uncles and grandmother in Canada... and vising family - while always worth it and something I do really want to do - is never the relaxing endevour usually associated with "vacationing."
Here is my morning attitude in a picture, by one of my FAVORITE artists Ursula Vernon.
