This morning my alarm went off at six and woke me out of a dream. Even though I went to bed 9 hours earlier and even though the dream was oddly disturbing, I still did not want to get out of bed. I turned off the alarm. I covered myself up again and made my head comfortable on the pillow. I said aloud, "I do not want to get up." As I laid there, not getting up and not going back to sleep I heard a sound coming from outside. Is that a robin singing? Is this a migratory robin or one of those "stay all winter in Minnesota" robins? Whatever. I heard, "Cheerily. Cheer up. Cheer up. Cheerily." Well, I guess I can get out of bed. If that robin can sing so cheerily in the light of dawn, outside where it is cold out, I can and I will get out of bed.
