Rising early is not normally on my agenda, but it can offer untold rewards. Strong hot coffee is imperative in my quest to chronicle the sunrise. I rise before dawn when the world is still dark, and before the birds break into song. If I lived on a farm, I would have to wake the rooster and remind him of his duties. Together we watch the black sky lighten and turn gray. As darkness blushes pink, and a golden glow tints the horizon, my reward is watching a magical mist lifting from the field. A cool morning breeze touches my coffee mug, and as I inhale, the promise of a productive day stirs my soul.
Trance-like, I wander to my desk with the dawn music singing in my ear. My muse demands I transcribe the whispered stories. Transmitting through my fingertips, ebony squiggles appear on the ivory page, but I don’t see black or white. Pink and golden hues color my words, and I taste the morning’s magical flavor. Emotions vibrate, twirling intimately with the words, my writing session is off to a wonderous beginning.
How do you start your day?

What a lovely way to start the day, Jo!
Takes me a little longer to coax my brain into productivity, but as long as we manage it, I’m happy enough…

I’m not a morning person so I really need that coffee. Still sunrises are beautiful. I hope you have a great day.

This is such a fine description of pre-dawn and then the dawn. I appreciate you and the rooster being cohorts with the time. And the page pink and golden–prismatic inspiration.
I start my day when I do, early or late. Depends on how I fell asleep and how late or early. Usually late. When I was sick recently, I stopped drinking coffee and am still having herbal tea. I’m sure it’s a good change, though honestly not as inspiring. I could say not as stimulating, I guess in every way.
I hope your week is going really well.

In truth I don’t plan to wake up early. I often just find myself awake in the middle of the night, and rather than fight to go back to sleep, I just get up and start my day. 😎
Coffee, ☕ tea. ☕ whatever your wake up juice is, as long a it works for you, life is good. Sounds like you have a schedule that suits you, Christopher. Keep up the good work. 👍
