Ethereal Quiet of Early Morning

I'm not quite sure why, but for the past week or so, I've been waking up extraordinarily early - between 4 and 4:30 a.m. I wake up fully alert and restless - just have to get out of bed.

There is something special about that early morning time - with Brian still sleeping, the neighbors not yet out and about, as I sit here with only the light of my computer screen, there is something especially MINE about 4 a.m. Watching the sunrise is reassuring, too - it reminds me that today is, after all, another beginning, and I have just gotten a head start.
