Early Rising

I woke up this morning at 4am. That just doesn't seem right or even normal, but I have learned the hard way that it is worse if I try to go back to sleep. It never works. I toss and turn, and my mind starts going to places that I don't want it to. So, I crawled out of my warm bed, made myself a cup of hot tea, wrapped myself in a warm blanket and headed to my computer. Because of my early risings, I have been spending more time in the morning reading some of my favorite blogs. I am finding so many good ones. I am encouraged and inspired daily. Both creatively and spiritually.  I have so needed that.
