    Early mornings...

    So I am pretty sure most designers and artists are night owls. Right? But, as I sit here at my desk at 4:40 AM and look at the darkness outside and hear the crickets chirping, I know I'll always be an early bird. There is something almost intoxicating about the start of a new day...the potential, like a brand new canvas. I can imagine in my mind what a perfect day it will be...and I'm inspired to create. And by the end of the very long day (look, any day that starts before 4 AM is going to be long, no matter how great it went), I fall into bed at 9 PM. And then I drift off to sleep wondering how all of those night owls save up the energy to do anything past sunset.

    I know some people might call it insomnia -- being awake at this time, and having nowhere I have to be. But I call it a jump start to the day. I embrace the quiet (minus the dog breathing heavily at my feet), and I can think. I believe there must be magic in a day this new...do you believe it too?
