I appreciate to wake up early when it is still dark and quiet in my town.
I go to bed by 10pm usually so I am up most mornings by 6am.
I used to hate waking up early when I was a kid and couldn’t imagine wanting to get out of bed separate from an alarm clock or the wet towel treatment my stepdad would do. If both of us weren’t up when both of us should have been he would get a towel and rinse it with cold water then pull back our blanket and throw it on our stomach. It woke us up! He could have just turned on the air conditioner and done it more gradually however this way worked much faster. Kids just need more sleep than adults and maybe he was just jealous that both of us were able to sleep till noon if not awoken. All of us had a cool wood burning fireplace in that home and both of us would help him split the wood and carry it in, which for myself and others was kind of a fun process and good exercise. I wish I purchased that beach home when I had the chance in 1996 when my mom put it up for sale for $140K because today it is worth 1.5 million dollars now. I can’t remember if both of us had central heat and air in the place when both of us had it built however I am sure that it is in there now. I can’t guess how much real estate has gone up over the past twenty many years or so. If I only knew then.
