Early to rise…
I woke up early this morning - early being 5:00 a.m. - to get some reading done that I had fallen behind on. Usually when I wake up that early I’m headed off to the gym for some basketball with the dawn patrol crew, but this morning was just to catch up. Unfortunately, I was a bit groggy as I rolled out of bed and habitually started preparing to play basketball. I’d gotten dressed, put my gym bag together, and was just about to put my shoes on when I realized, today is Thursday, not Friday!
I ended up getting some good reading done, and was grateful for the extra time today. Tomorrow will genuinely be a basketball morning, so I’ll repeat the drill but actually put on my shoes and head for the YMCA at 5:30. Amazing what a year out of college does to you - just last year I was up until 6 a.m. to wrap up a project. Now I’m getting up at dawn to read or play basketball!
