A thought from Rose

Going to bed early is a decision too

Swapping the last episode of the night for an extra hour of sleep changed more than I expected.

I used to say I was a night person. In truth, I was a person who didn’t want the day to end without having had some time of my own.

My own time, at another hour

I moved that time to the morning. I go to bed earlier, wake up before everyone else, and the silence is still there — only now I’m rested.

“Rest isn’t a pause in life. It’s part of it.”
