Life Wakes Up Early
I got up this morning (Sunday), at about 7:30, to give myself time to get ready before catching the 7 bus downtown, to get to Santa Fe Depot to catch the train up to Anaheim for an Angels' game.
Whenever I'm up and out that early, I'm always shocked at how many other people are out and about. Not that they're up at that hour, I'm often up at that hour, but that they're out and don't look like they're dragging ass. The bus had plenty of people on it, there were people at all the stops, and downtown there were people out and about, and it appeared to be mid-afternoon in their world.
On Sunday mornings I usually get up around 7 or 8, make some coffee, clean up the apartment a little bit, read the paper, make breakfast, and if I'm lucky am out by 10 or 11.
I'm not writing any of this because I'm shocked that plenty of people are up and out by 8:30. I was however taken aback at how many of then didn't look like they were out for breakfast, coffee, or a morning walk, rather they seemed like they were just hanging out. Granted, they were not the soccer moms or the people out with their kids, instead it was a mix of street people and lower income looking people, with random others scattered in.
Anyway, it just made me realize that while most people are just getting up or relaxing at home, for others the wheels of life are spinning.
