Morning light brings many things into view.
Mostly, that I want food.
My adventures in the world of Moving Difference, has lead me to speak at several civic groups, pick up trash with youth groups, drive tons of miles, receive a lot of emails and volunteering at so many places across the state and now the country, well – it is hard not to want breakfast because the rest of the day is going to be busy.
This is my road not taken. I am not a morning person. In fact, mornings are for people that refuse to stay up overnight and properly greet the dawn with sneers. Okay it isn’t that bad, but it is bad. And no, coffee doesn’t work. And no, I don’t make everybody else suffer because I don’t like mornings.
In fact many people don’t even know this about me. I truly make an effort not to refuse doing something at 6 in the morning and be ugly about it.
So I am not the “bubbly change the world” person but I am present, briefly smiling and WANT FOOD.
Since the start of Moving Difference last June, I have done more mornings before 6am than I have done in the last five years alone.
I have discovered that if you don’t get breakfast when you wake up that early then your entire day is going down hill fast and before noon…..
I have also discovered that an orange cut in half and the guts eaten make a great cooking bowl for over-easy eggs and ready-to-bake cinnamon rolls. AND a banana with the ends cut off and grilled in peel makes a tasty treat with the frosting packet from the cinnamon rolls!!
Not bad for a healthy breakfast on the road and certainly an adventure to make when half-wake!!
My road not taken of early mornings have lead me to places and people that are beyond beauty, they are life-changing. So I will take this road not taken for a bit more and see where it ends before I wiggle back into the night schedule and remember the mornings of campfire eggs…..
So what is your road not taken?
