Into each rain some life must fall.

Do you get up so early every weekday? I got up early, for me, today, 7:00. I opened the bedroom blinds and it was a dazzling morning (sliding glass window/balcony face northeast and over the water). So, here I am, downstairs in the "corner" of my living room where I can't see out or get any natural light. Why do we do that to ourselves?
