How often do you trust your morning instinct?

Last evening I was watching a movie and found myself super uncomfortable and all I wanted to do was go to bed. How often do I feel this and just ignor it? Watch the end of the movie? see the end of the show?
Well last night I listened and went to bed at 10. This morning at 5:45 the crickets were chirping, the geese were far off honking, and I knew I had to get up.
The lake was placid. Not a ripple. Seemed for a while I was the only one out around the lake. The lake was waking up. What an awesome thing to watch. Kind of like watching a child wake up but on a grand scale.
It was very remeniscent of BSA Camp Oljato where I spent 7? consecutive summers as a youth. We had this program called Sunrise Service that was held before sunrise on the top of the granite hillside overlooking Huntington Lake to the East and we would listen to guitar and rub our eyes to watch the sun peek its rays and then its head over the Sierra Nevada and bring forth the new day. One of the most magical experiences of my life.
