What the world sounds like when you wake at 5 a.m.

Sleep when the birds sleep 
Close your eyes when the birds do
Wake when the birds wake.

Below is an audio recording of the birds in my backyard at 5 AM. Every morning when I wake, I open the kitchen window or step out onto my back patio and let the birds greet me with their morning songs. This is how I start my day. Try it sometime. You may find it makes a world of difference in how the rest of your day unfolds.

Your daddy and I would waken to the birds singing and chirping. The head of our bed faced the 2 trees next to the sidewalk. We would lay there on Saturday mornings (our day off) for a long while just listening to the birds!
