5/24: morning journalling

I like to write in a journal in the mornings, mostly thoughts about whatever I'm reading.  But during the school year it's hard:  I've tried getting up an hour earlier to make writing time--but that would sometimes mean getting up at 4:30 a.m., which I can't do and stay productive for the rest of the day, so now journalling is a seasonal activity.  This week I started journalling in the mornings again, and for the past few days I've been writing on the porch--with my coffee, the cats, and the cool sweet air embroidered with bird songs.
