Turn Your Clocks Ahead for Daylight Saving Time

Tonight we turn our clocks ahead…and get up an hour earlier in the morning. I enjoy the longer evenings of daylight and somehow find I get so much more done.
However, until the year approaches its longest day, in June, our mornings remain darker. If we’re earlier risers, we’ll find it dark or dawn. But…we may have the glorious adventure of watching the sunrise rather than having it fully daylight when we get up.
Do you find Daylight Savings Time affecting your schedule, lifestyle and the youngsters? Or do you look upon it as an adventure, a time to get more done and to enjoy the out-of-doors more?
For further information about Daylight Saving Time…it’s history and facts and figures:
