My husband is an early riser.
On a recent trip, he called me to the window of our hotel room at the crack of dawn.
The sun was just peeking its magnificent head up over the horizon.
Waves gently lapped the shoreline of the ocean outside the balcony of our room.
For a quite awhile, I watched as the sun climbed higher and higher into the morning sky.
Just the utter peace of the moment was enough to fill my heart with gratitude for being alive.
The Creator's gift of the new day's sun was an extra bonus. What splendor! What an incredible thing to see.
Peace, as well as morning light, washed over everything in sight. No rushing. No problems. No worries. No "to do" lists.
It was an immense joy to just "be."
p.s. I have been away from home for 10 days and am back now. That's why some posts have run for two days and why I haven't been visiting as frequently. Missed you!
Hope you have a beautiful Sunday.
WHEN WAS THE LAST TIME YOU WATCHED THE SUN RISE?

Hello from Spain: I love early. The sunrises are beautiful. Nice photos. Happy Sunday. Keep in touch
Oh Susan that was beautiful - looked like a light bulb turned on. That was beautiful! I didn't know your hubs went with you. So I have to admit if I can sleep I do - but sometimes when I brought Andy to school - the sun was rising in the west - it usually blinded me - but it was beautiful!
Today I had to get up at three a.m. to catch a flight and saw the sunrise from the window of my airplane...very beautiful.
Sunrises and sunsets make gorgeous photos. Glad you're back and look forward to your posts.
Welcome back, Susan. Thanks for the beautiful sunrise pictures. There's something special about taking time to appreciate God's creation.
Susan, your sunrise pictures are so pretty. I'm an early bird, so I see the sunrises often. I actually see sunrises more than sunsets.
love, ~Sheri
