Rise and Shine: Report 2

My Spring Goal of rising early has been pretty successful so far.  5:30 feels like a more manageable time than 5:15 and I'm okay with that.  Since I am by far the earliest riser, it is often the only time I have uninterrupted.

Even on the days when I don't get up at quarter past dark, I still rise earlier than I would have earlier.  And 20 minutes on the treadmill is better than nothing.

I lay out my clothes the night before so that in the morning I just brush my teeth and throw them on.  Inside out, socks not matching, I do not care.

I subscribe to several magazines and I'm only allowed to read the fun ones while I am exercising.

The past two weeks have been almost exclusively exercise rather than workouts and writing.  Even when I think I'll split the time, I don't want to stop once I've started exercising.  So I'm trying to write more on the weekends as well.

Speaking of writing, my April 17th tweet was favorited and re-tweeted by Creative Nonfiction, you can check it out here.

Grateful Tuesday

Today I am grateful for rising early (even before my alarm), being able to go for a long walk outside since it gets light 2 hours earlier than in winter, neighborhood bunnies, clean clothes, Babyface slept through the night, family visits I'm looking forward to, using Rapid Rewards for a free one-way ticket, seeing progress, my UP24 (I am hooked on this thing!), being a fast reader, learning from past experiences, and that every day is a new beginning.
