Sunrise Sunset

Don't you just love that song from Fiddler on The Roof....when I saw that movie I just KNEW that I needed to have that song at my wedding.  And then I grew up, married later then the 18 year girl in that movie and the song was no longer appropriate...but I still love the song; I pretend it played at my wedding and I get teary-eyed when  I hear it.

So....I'm on a quest to Be Jill (yep, I am reading The Happiness Project) and to Be Jill I have to discover who Jill really is as opposed to who Jill want's to be.  I WANT to be a person who enjoys waking up early; my whole life this has never happened. So, I am wondering if who I want to be and who I am can find a happy medium, and if this will make me happy.  Because of the HOT, HUMID down right HORRID summer weather we have been having here in South Carolina I have been FORCED to get up early to get my running in before Hell rises. This morning was a real struggle and I noticed; the days are getting shorter.  I asked my husband, to be certain because it was early and I normally am not a clear thinker in the morning; and he confirmed that indeed it was darker at 6am that it was even 1 week ago.
When I arrived home today this gift was on the kitchen counter

Verilux Rise and Shine Natural Wake-up Light

  This gadget mimics a sunrise and will help me rise and shine as early as I want every morning. And it also mimics a sunset! How cool is that! Tonight I'm sleeping on the beach; set my Rise and Shine for a 1 hour sunset, cue the ocean sounds on my sound maker, have my oscillating fan on gentle breeze and viola I will be sleeping and waking on a tropical beach!  I love technology~ Sweet Dreams!
