Early mornings.



How early is too early to get up.

There is a lovely part of the morning where nobody else is up that most people only discover when they have a small baby.

Because there is no good reason to be getting up out of bed at 4am, 5am, sometimes 6 or 7am until you have a small baby that decides it's time to get up at all of these unholy hours of the morning.

Other than that why would I be getting out of my nice warm bed before 8am after just a few hours of sleep? It just wouldn't happen.

But there are benefits to getting up at these hours.

Apart form the screechy baby trying to pull at every cable in the living room and climbing up my leg there is a lot of peace to it as well.

Sitting here while it's dark outside. The rest of the house is sleeping and there is nobody moving outside is a very peaceful time. An in a small house with two kids there are very few peaceful times.

So like with the markets or life itself. It's important to take the positives from any situation.

It gives me a chance to have some alone time, to open the laptop or like this morning to watch a bit of my tv. I turned it on and found a live ladies rugby match between ENG and NZ at the rugby world cup. The standard isn't as good as the mens sport but it's fast and exciting so I enjoy the openness of the game. It's a really good one as well. A red cards, tries coming in from all angles and non stop action. It's sport should be.

It's lovely to sit here with a hot cup of tea and watch as the early morning light rolls in and a new day starts. Even if the screechy baby is still screeching and i'm only running on a couple of hours sleep it's the nicest part of the day.

Absolutely! No screechy babies but 20 chucks waiting to greet me. I have an automatic door that lets them out at sunrise but it's so lovely to be up and about when very few are. It's surely the nicest part of the day.

Ya, I hear you, there was a time when I'd be getting home at 4am, 5am, 6am, but now my day often starts at that time. I usually work at least one day a week up in Dublin or down in Limerick, so 4:30 or 5am alarms are frequent enough, I like to get to the office for 8am if possible, that way I can finish earlier and get home just before the kids are gone to sleep.

Depending on the time of the year, I will awake to a glorious sunrise or drive as it happens, and in a similar way drive home looking at the sun set.

I do like that time of the morning and funnily enough, I am now incapable of staying in bed late even when away on a stag, holiday, wedding etc, my body is so used to the early rises now!

Ever since I quit my night shift job as a Virtual Assistant and worked on another at 8-5pm my time, I was able to enjoy the day because I wake up early in the morning at about 5-6am. Morning feels so good. It flashes an idea that I have all the hours to do more things within the day.
