I am also tired. I have one more student, then I'm heading home to bed early. I will be rising early tomorrow to head out to the church I'm substitute piano/organ playing for.
I had an epiphany this morning. I finally understand my mother's behavior. She is chronically early to everything. Today I purposefully headed out much earlier than I needed to before teaching piano class. I landed at a Starbucks near the Portland waterfront. I had a black Americano. No sugar, no cream. And oatmeal. It was most enjoyable to enjoy the morning. I sipped and contemplated. I was in no rush, because I had over an hour before my first class.
I decided to eat some crow, and call my mother. I have poked fun at her all my life for her early bird mentality.
"I have adapted your system", I told her when she answered the phone. She sounded puzzled. I explained.
"It took you long enough!", she said sarcastically.
I deserved it. Better late than never! Or should I say better early than late!
I also had a wonderful Qi Gong/Hooping session this morning. I am increasing my time. I feel stronger, more energetic and more flexible!
Although these predawn morning awakenings do cause me to crash earlier.
There is a saying though. "Early to bed and early to rise. Makes a man healthy, wealthy and wise!"
I must be getting old. I'm going to bed early. Waking up early. And quoting old sayings.
Oh well, I am embracing my age and my gray hair. But I am not letting go of my stamina!
On that note, I must run. Talk to you tomorrow. Happy Saturday!
Love,
Zita
