Sunday morning Silence


So, why am I up on a Sunday morning at 6:30am? Because I have been conditioned to wake up every morning during the week at 3:45 to go to the gym. I have often shared with my wife that waking up early, working out or just getting up to read is a whole new world. Once the cobb webs are out of my eyes and I am fully awake, either getting my workout in at this time or just enjoying a good cup of coffee is a great feeling. On the opposite end, I do get to bed earlier than I normally have done in the past; 8:30pm. The one night that is tough to get to bed early is on Tuesday eves when I have to watch NCIS.

I am amazes how many folks are up and working out at 4am. You see the regulars there; people that have been consistently there every day of the week is comforting to me. I say this because, my New Years resolution was to be " Consistent" in what ever I did. So, for the past 2 years, I have been getting up and going to my local 24 hrs gym early and I have been consistently going 4-5 times a week. There is a daily reward to waking up early and that is experiencing some of the most beautiful sunsets, even on cloudy days when you can't see the sun rise, the lightening of the cloudy sky has its own beauty.
