    Hello!

    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.

    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!
    I didn't use to be a morning person but I've turned into one.

    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.
