1/11: natural rising

When I was growing up my parents would use the phrase "natural rising" to signal that, for a given day, we didn't have to set our alarm clocks. Today is the last day of winter break, and one thing that I've appreciated about it has been the opportunity for natural rising on most days. I can count on one hand the number of times I've had to set the alarm clock in the past 3 weeks. And today it was actually the bright white sun that woke me up; what a pleasure.

Natural rising sounds so humane and peaceful. Now that I've been back to school for a week, my Natural Rising returned to "early" and I'm fighting less with that desire to stay under the covers!
