Is there anything better than a pre dawn morning in the middle of July?
Is there anything more grim than a pre dawn morning on the middle of December?
In essence two of a kind with wholly opposite opinions
Let’s address the grim day first:
It’s bloody grim and freezing, the air maybe fresh but until some resemblance of daylight breaks you somehow don’t want to get out into nature and take a walk in the countryside- hell even the tarmac roads bring an element of risk as you don’t know if the next steps in a big puddle or a slippy icerink that’ll see you on your ass.
Sitting at the kitchen table having the morning brew is not overly enjoyable and the two extra layers complete with hoodie that I’ve put over my Pj’s (because they aren’t coming off until shower time) adds to an unenjoyable experience
Contrast that to a blissful summer morning!
You’ve been forewarned by nature by the long evening sky the night before that tomorow/today is going to be
an equally charming and splendid warm day.
Like that feeling when you are on holiday, the morning due on your feet seems like a welcome hug for what awaits you when the big bright friend in the sky comes back around from seeing his mates in Australia.
Sitting outside the kitchen door having the morning brew in your shorts, breathing in the joys of summer as the morning calm brings increased serenity to your preparations for the day ahead proves that something in this life does come from free
Summer mornings are a sheer joy!
Equally I ponder whether I’d miss the grumpy winter mornings should I ever decide to Ieave europe and depart to sunnier year round climes!
Would I also grow wary of the morning joy knowing full well that tomorrow can bring me that endorphin rush? Would tomorrow ever come?
For now I’ll stick with the dark winter morning and await with bated breath the spring,summer, and half the autumn seasons..equally I need to get my ass in gear and reframe winter as a time to be alive!
As George Bernard Shaw quotes- Progress is impossible without change, and those who cannot change their minds cannot change anything.
I need to change my mind
