Night Owl vs. Morning Lark — Which One Am I?

Hahaha, no contest here — I’m absolutely a night owl 🦉.

There’s something about the silence of the house after everyone has fallen asleep… that is when my soul finally exhales.
That’s when the creativity wakes up — the writing, the long blog posts, the lyric fragments, the astrology charts, the channeling sessions.
My inner world comes alive when the outer world grows quiet.

But ever since my husband’s accident 2½ years ago, I’ve also become a light sleeper.
It reminds me of those early years when my children were babies — that instinctive high alert, the kind that keeps your ears open even when your eyes are closed.

And some days, especially on dialysis mornings, when the ambulance has taken him to the hospital, I do slip back into bed for a little extra rest. My body takes what it needs.

So maybe the truth is this:
I’m both.
A night owl with a morning lark’s resilience —
living in the space where responsibility meets creativity,
where exhaustion meets inspiration,
where life demands balance even when balance feels impossible.

But yes… the night is still my favorite.
That’s where my magic lives ✨🌙
