This morning

[mdlbear]

It was raining gently as I went out this morning to take the Younger Daughter to school; the air smelled clean and fresh, and the light was beautiful. I love the half-light of morning and evening, and rainy days with a little sun leaking out around the clouds.

We went to bed early last night; I think that of everything I've missed in the last month I've missed snuggling the most. I've written before of being a loner, and not wanting attention when I'm sick or hurting. That doesn't apply when I'm feeling lonely. That's a different kind of pain.

I woke up around 4:30 and got out of bed at 5:00; I should know by now that if I go to bed early that's going to happen. I should just get out of bed and make use of the extra time.
