Amarillo by morning
Copyright Dave Williams 2012<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

I\u2019m a morning person. Always have been.<\/p>\n

Oh, but I\u2019m not one of those chirpy, can\u2019t-stop-chattering morning people.<\/p>\n

I wake up quickly but quietly. I love my sunrise alone time.<\/p>\n

\n

Give me odorous at sunrise a garden of beautiful flowers where I can walk undisturbed.
\n<\/em><\/strong>\u2013 Walt Whitman<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Science has proven that there really are morning people and night people. They\u2019ve done a lot of research to assure us of what we’ve always known:<\/p>\n

Some of us are energized when the sun goes down. We morning people go down with it.<\/p>\n

\n

Everything will look better in the morning,\u00a0 you’ll see.
\n\u2013 Nancy Williams, my mom<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

\u00a0<\/em>The days of my life have nearly always started in the dark. I was never late to school, I was early.<\/p>\n

I\u2019ve begun my work mornings long before dawn for the best 40 of my 50 years in radio. On those rare occasions that I\u2019ve slept in until after sunrise I feel like I\u2019ve cheated myself of a whole day.<\/p>\n

Some people function better at night, they just do. I\u2019ve never pitied or envied them, not out loud, anyway.<\/p>\n

They are always horrified to think of awakening before the crack of 10 a.m.<\/p>\n

We laugh at each other but neither of us would change our ways.<\/p>\n

My friend and blogging partner, Anita, is a morning person, too. Here are her thoughts: \u00a0http:\/\/theagingofaquarius.com\/ag_blog\/morning-people-versus-the-world\/<\/a><\/p>\n
