Early —

“Early to bed, early to rise, makes a man healthy, wealthy and wise.”  

My first memories of adults getting up early revolve around the sound of my Dad’s alarm clock. It was a harsh and shrill sound compared to the more melodic tones used today.  But these days there is something very special and comforting that accompanies that sound.  It takes me back to a time when my biggest care was whether I should have my Cocoa Krispies with or without milk.
