Early Mornings and words

Some mornings I guess the morning will just get going earlier than what I want. I had written yesterday about Daily endeavors and how I saw the writing could be. Sometimes the best ideas about endeavors don’t come true in the early Cambodian morning today. This is the quietest time of the day here I think. Sometimes the neighborhood dog barks or a moto will start. My wife gets up early sometimes to do some morning exercise or walking. Since the neighborhood is dirt roads for a little bit, no one really drives fast. During the days, kids are out playing.

This is the best time to just write I think. I can look at the day coming and what I likely will do. I try not to plan too much these days because then I will just change it and do another thing which seems likely.

I do know soon I will start the morning coffee here. I’ll write some more then because coffee and words. Then I think the neighbors and the usual noises of a Cambodian rural morning will start. I think sometimes it does not take long from this quiet to the buzz of neighbors talking, machinery sometimes starting like some kind of sander our neighbor is fond of, or vendors starting to ply the neighborhood selling whatever it is or delivering. We can get water and charcoal for the khmer bbq delivered. Luckily the trash collection never starts this early.

I get the feeling that this is the morning here and it never really does change. Cambodian people normally work 6 to 7 days a week. Even people that don’t work seem to rise early to do all the stuff I just mentioned.

I like the early morning and words it seems. The journal always gets this start first thing. Perhaps today will see me write twice here. I often feel like writing at the coffee shop and today brings a walk I would like to do to a smaller but nice place.

I feel done with this. So there ya go.
