If you wanted to feel the day is longer and enchanting then you should wake up early and go out to explore. This is what i learned a lot from my grandparent who live in the village long long time ago. They woke up as early as 5.00am on cold wet morning ready to 
venture into the woods to collect vegetation, farming and tends livestocks. Sometimes i would follow my dad deeps into the woods just to reach the civilization across or jump into the boat to cruise through long stretches of river to nearby towns. For me venturing in the morning barely sunrise is a magical moments; the cold refreshing tempreature and breezy air was just right to feel like a new born. Among canopy of forest and grasses the glittering beads of water on the greens are visually mesmerizing against the backdrop of sunrise. Surprised day time seems to clocked longer as if time slowing you down so you can enjoy more activitires in a day. That's why when you wake up late time felt shorter and less to enjoy for the day. Everyday i would ride high up to catch the sunrise and enjoy the view just to re-live the same past i used to enjoy. I believe those morning fog from the east came from where my grandparents used to lived across the land hundred miles away.
