Day 23 - Early to Rise

Early to bed, early to rise, makes a man healthy, wealthy and wise.... yeah, that has never really been me. I am a night owl and a hard to wake up, grumpy, annoyed by my overly cheerful husband and kids in the morning kind of girl. This past week I have been waking up around 6:30 -7:00 am without wanting to or trying to and feeling completely rested---what's up with that?

I remember a few years ago I went to a class a mentor/friend of mine was teaching about leadership education and she was telling us what her daily schedule was like. I jokingly asked her after she listed this insane schedule, "when do you sleep?" and she told me "well I eat really healthily so I don't need more than 6-7 hours". I remember thinking, --yeah right, like that really matters that much! ...she's not sounding so crazy to me now!
