When The World is Asleep — I’m Still Awake

What’s your favorite time of day?

The really early mornings and late into the evenings are the best times of day for me.

Very few people are awake before the dawn, so it’s nice and quiet — a rare stillness before the noise, hustle, and bustle of everyone else stirs with the rising sun.

Even though there are night owls, even partygoers, who are awake late into the evenings, they don’t bother me because their noise is usually short-lived.

No cars are revving their engines.

No children screaming with their games or vivid imaginations.

No adults arguing over this or that or rushing to make it on time for work.

It’s just me, my thoughts, my games, books, and this iPad I’m typing on.

Even the rare instances where the sound of a leaf blower and the typing of keys are the only background noise to be heard in the late mornings.

A simple treasure, a fleeting one, before the noise picks up again.

Just time to think, sit, and enjoy the moment, especially if you’re like me and are either mentally a day ahead, a day behind, but are rarely found in the present moment.

Thank You!

This is the first post of my unofficial “No A.I. assistance for 1 week challenge,” and to see if I can hit 30 days of consecutive postings. Those are my 2 personal blog goals I’m doing for fun.

I’ll be publishing my usual posts with just my thoughts, my own structure, and voice. No ChatGPT to be used as a the ghost writer of my drafts deas for the time being.
