Yes, I could be a "morning person" if I really had to be. When I ran my bed-and-breakfast I was up well before six AM to prep and cook breakfast, make the coffee, make sure the table and front parlor were set up, etc. Now that I am a teacher again (stuck with an 8:00 AM class) I can still get up at 5:30 and do all the necessary things before I head off to class.
When I quit working and finally retire -- I will probably want to get up early just to enjoy every minute of the day -- we have so few days in our limited lifespans. But, right now sometimes getting up early is really a pain in the "tuchus" (except for coffee).
This morning as I stopped for coffee at Parker's Downtown -- I hung back for a moment and just witnessed how many people were up and about -- stopping for breakfast just like I was, even sitting at outdoor tables in the pre-dawn darkness, and certainly looking up at a newly born blue sky (as I was).
It was all so very reassuring.
