Mornings

I don't know about you, but it seems my generation has a really big problem with the mornings. There seems to be a vast majority of people who don't enjoy the mornings, however we do get up because that's what life requires of us to do. Now it's not so much that we don't enjoy activities in the mornings but it seems that there is a trend among 20 something year old people in which we spend all of the waking hours of the night doing things that are often unimportant or menial in a way to add more productivity into our lives squeezing in every ounce of activity we can into the day. Then we wake up in the morning and feel like we have no energy to do anything. I think the solution to all this is exactly the same reason why we have day light savings time. We should be following the lead of farmers and making the most of the daylight hours that we do have. But have we become a society that enjoys the comforts of the indoors and well won't exactly be looking to do much outside? Possibly, at least as a city boy as some might call me.

I think it's interesting to note that the most fun activities people talk about doing are more often than not going outside and doing something. But what do we end up doing most of the time to pass the day? Spending all day in front of some sort of screen, be it computer, television, or even the ever so addictive smart phone that lets us keep connected 24/7. I'm not saying I don't enjoy technology, don't get me wrong I do, but I think there needs to be some sort of limit to how much we log, blog or tweet. (Anyone else see the irony of this post?) Tangent much?

So I think I'm gonna make it a personal goal to go out and try to make the most of my mornings and enjoy every day to the fullest extent that I can and stop living in my fears. Just going out and making something of the day that I've been given.
