Crack of Dawn and Back Day

In-patient pediatrics rotation has us back to 4am wake-ups. Meals are the time that we get to spend together so I get up and we have breakfast together and then after the evening workout we have dinner. I am thankful to whatever it is in my genetics that makes it easy for me to transition to early mornings. The dog on the other hand, he seems to not understand what the hell we are doing up so early?!

Today's quote is from William Arthur Ward:

"Change, like sunshine, can be a friend or a foe, a blessing or a curse, a dawn or a dusk."
