So here's the short of it, 
Waking up. 

And here's the long.

So this morning my alarm sounded and I thought to myself that there is nothing in the world more  wonderful than that cozy feeling of stirring awake without an alarm and turning over for one last snooze before waking up for whatever the day holds.

And then there's the reality.  The alarm.  The snooze button. The alarm again - and maybe even again. The final move to roll out of the bed and get a start on the day!

Tomorrow's not an extraordinarily early morning.  Maybe I'll even get up before the alarm sounds!
