mornings

New morning routine. Myra starts flopping around on the bed, wanting us to pet her, we both wake up and pet her as she rolls around. It's early, but she's so cute, it's hard to be mad.

She usually gets up around 6:15, which I can't say I am too fond of. She'll chew on her bone for a while then squeak till I get up with her. We'll play wrestle for a few minutes and then I'll take her out and either on a walk or to school.

I have never been a morning person, I likely will never be a morning person, but I am enjoying our morning routine. It is so quiet outside when I walk her, the light is soft and there aren't many people walking around. Walking around in Ladd's Addition you don't even hear many cars, so it is very peaceful. People wave and smile when they see you walking, and I always hope to see the Chinese man and woman on their walk too. I believe the woman is a nun and the man is a monk. The man has the sweetest face I've ever seen and when he smiles, it just lights up his face.

Or when I'm driving her to school. Yesterday, it was really foggy, but the fog and mist were tinged with pink because of the sunrise and I always notice new things on our walk or on a drive to school. It's a very nice way to start the day.

I just wish she didn't insist on starting it so early!
