Hello!

[morning girl]

I would like to introduce myself. I picked my name for the forum because of my habit of rising early to get things done. I am an aspiring minimalist/reforming hoarder. I am fascinated by small living spaces. I hope to be able to find like mined folks on this site.:)

Welcome morning girl!

So far, I'm like-minded! You described me to a T! Welcome, morning girl.....

Here's my favorite morning poem:


Why I Wake Early

Hello, sun in my face.
Hello, you who made the morning
and spread it over the fields
and into the faces of the tulips
and the nodding morning glories,
and into the windows of, even, the
miserable and the crotchety –

best preacher that ever was,
dear star, that just happens
to be where you are in the universe
to keep us from ever-darkness,
to ease us with warm touching,
to hold us in the great hands of light –
good morning, good morning, good morning.

Watch, now, how I start the day
in happiness, in kindness.

~ Mary Oliver ~

Welcome from another morning person. My favorite time of day! Listening to the birds, watching the sun rise while the house is quiet...

Welcome! I'm a morning person, too. I don't match up well on any of the rest of the things you mentioned :), but I know there are people here who are like-minded. And this certainly is a welcoming place.

Welcome from an 11 a.m.-kind-of-person! Enjoy yourself here...I certainly do! :)

Hello and welcome! I have been finding the early morning pretty delightful too, as of late!

[HumboldtGurl]

Hey Morning Girl, welcome. That is a cool name! Glad you found us.

I like getting up early when the sun is up around 6am. Right now here in TX it doesn't rise till after 7a which really makes me sad. Waah!
