Sleeping Late

I have no idea how sleeping late ended up being 6:30 a.m.?
Since we moved to Haiti I have been waking up earlier and earlier. I now have a silent alarm clock that goes off at about 5:30 a.m. I obey it by getting up with out thinking twice about the fact that if I lived in the States and got up this early I would freak and already be planning when I could take my nap. Everything starts early here and that means I go to bed early. When we had babies at our house I got up early, but I also took a nap. I am not sure what happened to taking a nap? Naps seem like gold here. Nap + Ice = Gold! I hate to say it, but the other night as I was laying in bed I was thinking I don't really have time to go to bed. Now that is crazy! I love getting up this early. It keeps me grounded and gives me some time to sort things out in my head and pray. The thing that I am having a problem with is the fact that when we lived near The Villages in Florida, all the old people went to bed at 8:30 just like I do now. That isn't fitting well in my head - I am getting old! I just had my birthday and I don't feel old, but I must be acting old with my new sleep pattern. Maybe I can say it is the heat and the full days I have here. Maybe it is just what you do when you don't have all the other distractions. When I get out and walk by 6:00 a.m. the streets are full of people who are busy with the day. For what ever reason, my alarm is going off this early I have to admit - I love morning!
