Yes, friends, another sunrise.
But let me tell you, I have been sick. And I am tired. Boy am I tired.
And my baby girl wakes early.
So when I walk into the living room and see this out my window, (power lines and all) I feel a deep sense of joy and thankfulness. And it lifts that weighty fatigue just a little.
Sunrise for me is a magical moment. I am weary. Not yet ready to face the day and then, there is this amazing sight that lifts my spirits. I often catch my breath, or gasp, completely taken in.
I have not seen a sunrise that did not fill me with a surge of energy and joy.
Surprised by beauty. Aren't we grateful for it?
What beauty is surprising you these days?
"The world is so full of a number of things,
I'm sure we should all be happy as kings."
Robert Louis Stevenson
