Waking Up

“It is always with excitement that I wake up in the morning wondering what my intuition will toss up to me, like gifts from the sea. I work with it and rely on it. It's my partner.”

-- Dr. Jonas Salk

Up until this morning, I hadn't been waking up to the sound of the alarm clock. I don't really care to be "alarmed" out of a good night's rest. I don't like for someone to come up behind me and scare me, either. I don't think it's healthy, anyway. It can be quite stressful on the heart.

Unfortunately, I've been going to bed too late and waking up after 9:00 a.m. By doing this, I don't feel as energized as I do when I wake up earlier. So, I set my alarm for exactly 9 O'clock this morning and, although I jumped when it went off, I recovered quickly and I have more energy now than I have in quite awhile. And I also don't feel like I've wasted half the morning sleeping.

Sometimes I don't feel it's a waste to get some extra sleep, but for the most part, getting an early start can mean getting more done and it can also mean getting some rest earlier at night as well.

I sometimes suffer from insomnia, so going to bed early isn't always that easy, but when I can, it's a nice feeling.

I woke up feeling similar to what this quote is saying. I found it in an email I read today. Another synchronicity.
