First thing I do is wonder what time it is and then I get up and peek through the curtains to see of the sun is shining. Once I've established that, then I verify the time. Don't know why but that's what I gotta do just about each and every day. Then I try to be as quiet as I can so I don't wake hubbie and head down to greet anyone else that's up and about while I get my coffee and muffin and head to the pool with my book. So quiet and calm listening to the birds and early morning sounds. Young kids getting ready for school in the neighborhood. Couple of roosters crowing and the occasional barking dog. Watch one of the Seastar staff setting up the bar for another wonderous day.
