Morning Mode

Despite my insomniac tendencies, I'm generally a morning person.  I love the idea of getting up and finishing most of my busy work while it's still dark out so I can seize every hour of the light throughout the day.  And though I work from home, I've made it a habit of getting dressed for work.  The routine alone is one that helps me feel most productive while putting me in the right mindset every day.    My mood isn't necessarily chipper -- it rarely ever is anyway -- but I like spending those early hours of my quiet morning after getting dressed to refocus, regroup, and recharge my mind sans distraction.  It's truly the most refreshing way to start the day.
