Best of all though was running outside with my camera to catch the morning sunrise and listen to the birds - it's so amazing & such a blessing.Mary Ann Wachholzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05300308066511091826noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4965399831932074160.post-51070815790115451832010-03-10T08:16:50.517-06:002010-03-10T08:16:50.517-06:00Speaking as a "young" one, I too love th...Speaking as a "young" one, I too love the early morning hours. I would choose waking before the sun rises to staying up late any day of the week. NOTHING beats pre-sunrise fishing trips...especially when you're 5 years old, and with dad! Great memories!!! And now I continue those early morning trips, whether dad can go or not. Can I interest you in an early morning breakfast, pops?Johnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03026017919267586394noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4965399831932074160.post-26319052590872437432010-03-10T05:48:40.887-06:002010-03-10T05:48:40.887-06:00I am so with you Dennis!

These early morning hours ARE the best hours of the day!<br />I can hear the love of my life snoring peacefully nearby and my puppy is at my feet...life is good! With a great cup of coffee and my laptop, I too accomplish more before 8:30 then the rest of the day. It's too bad the "young" can't appreciate these hours, but then, the "young at heart" possibly would not have so much peace and quiet! ENJOY!!Auntie Fluffynoreply@blogger.com
