AM vs PM
Even when I was a little girl, I was an early bird. There are many things to do in a day. I have found that starting my day early is what works best. I have also found that I do better when I accomplish my necessary tasks in the morning. Due to my religion, I spend twenty-thirty minutes of each day reading from the scriptures. Many people that I know read and such right before bed. While that works for them, I've tried both times of day, and found my preffered time to read. Why is it that I find it best to read in the mornings rather than at night. Why am I a morning person?
When I go to bed at night, I always think of all of the things that I want to accomplish the next day. When I actually think of each task that I need to accomplish, it often seems like I won't have enough time to finish in one day. This often leads me to wake up early and get started first thing in the morning. I know that if I put off doing the things that I really need to do, it's very likely that I won't get them done. The only way to guarantee that I'll get my scripture-reading done is to get it done first thing in the morning.
Not only is it the way to guarantee my accomplishing of it, but it is also a way to get it done while my house is still quiet. I'm about the only one in my house that's up before seven-thirty. I'm more able to concentrate and think about what I'm doing.
It's more quiet at six in the morning, and I'm also more awake. When I wake up in the morning, I've had time to rest, but when I read them at night, I've had a long and mind-straining day. This decreases my ability to concentrate and get anything out of what I'm reading. I often end up, at night, falling asleep or rereading a page over and over again for twenty minutes straight.
Finally, when I don't procrastinate what I need to do, I don't need to worry about it for the rest of the day. I am able to have a more enjoyable and happy day when I begin my day with my scripture-reading. I can concentrate better, stay awake, and guarantee my accomplishing of my scripture-reading when I do it first thing in the mornings. I appologize if I've been rambling on, because it's 11:55 on New Years' Eve. However, I do know what I'm talking about and really do mean what I've said. I really have been analyzing, even if I repeated anything. There were four specific reasons that I do better when I get my scripture-reading done in the morning. Maybe I should do my blogs in the mornings too. Oh well. HAPPY NEW YEAR! Oh I need to publish this, it's 11:59. Bye!

Ha ha ha! That was a very good blog and you had me laughing to myself there at the end. You're hilarious. I read with my family in the mornings, and I can't bring myself to get up even earlier to read my scriptures, because then it would be to EARLY to concentrate! Lol. I admire you for doing that though! I like reading them at night because it calms me down and lets me get my mind of stressfull events of the day. After all, what is more calming that reading about whole nations flopping in and out of wickedness and righteousness! Just kidding. I love the scriptures! We're really blessed to have such an amazing tool in our lives.
