Fall back

Normally I am not a big fan of changing our clocks back in fall. I am not a fan of shorter days, or less sunshine. This morning Chloe was up before 6am, and I felt surprisingly rested, so we got up. I suggested coffee and hot chocolate at the beach. I'm so glad we went. It was a gorgeous morning, and while I am feeling really sleepy now at 10am, the days aren't that much shorter if one gets up with the sun. We'll see how long that outlooks lasts. Oddly, it feels like a new year, a fresh new start, but ask me again tonight at 5:30 when darkness falls.
