I like mornings. I like the part right before you are really awake, when trips to Mexico, hiking the Appalachian, or becoming a high school history teacher are all things you can just reach out and touch.
You look at your clock hazily, 5:45 AM, then fold your arms beneath your head, close your eyes, and go on composing your warm little to-do list. Things to do when I wake up.

Well done. I am so old that I look at this from the perspective of not having that many years left to do all the things that I want to do. You did a good job of taking me back. I will return often. Keep writing.
