1. Time was in my life when the dawn happened to other people. 
2. I was definitely not a morning person; I associated the sunrise with long plane flights across many time zones and groggy strolls around strange cities waiting for my hotel room to become available. 
3. Then I had children, and the first light took on new meaning. Sometimes, it was the sigh at the end of a fretful night up with a feverish baby; or the opposite, the joyous cry of an exuberant 3-year-old eager to get the day going. 
4. It was only later, when mornings were taken over by the getting-to-school frenzy, that I discovered the serenity of the surprisingly fast transition from night to day. 
5. For the small price of 15 minutes of sleep I could buy 15 minutes of solitary peace --- with a cup of coffee and the newspaper. 
6. iven the tidbit of time at my disposal, I developed the habit of skimming the paper, which quickly came down to surreptitious and almost superstitious ritual of checking out obituaries.
7. At first I attributed this new habit to advancing age --- I had recently turned 40 --- and glumly concluded that I was becoming morbid.
8. But why, then, was I finding my secret rite so uplifting? Finally, after many years of starting the day this way, I have figured out that I am doing it not to obsess about death but to find out about life. Real life. 
9. Obituaries capture the benchmarks of life span without passing judgment or making order out of the events. 
10.

The high points are easy --- Pulitzer Prize winners joke that as soon as they are named they know what the headline is going to be on their obituary --- but I read most attentively for clues to the defeats and the flat-line periods, the inexplicable changes of heart and the twists of fate, the gambles and the unexpected consequences, the loose ends …

11. The message that comes through over and over is that although there are times in any life when things seem to be proceeding step by logical step, the whole is mostly random and askew. 
12.

Life, as every biography and obit I have ever read confirms, is what happens when you are making other plans.
