Sunrise

What better way to begin this Sunday morning than to watch the sunrise.

I have discovered that at this time of the year, from the new location of the recliner I can see out the front picture window and see the sunrise through the tree branches. I have been an early risers by nature all of my life. Now that is not to say that I got up with the chickens when my children were small and the demands on my time and energy were at the highest level but by nature I love to be up before everyone else to be able to meditate, read, watch my gardening shows or whatever else seems pleasurable along with a cup of coffee, a chocolate cookie or my hot green tea. I guess that makes me a slow starter but an early starter.

Today the sunrise is especially brillant stretching across the long expanse of sky is a firey expanse of color-brillant reds that creep into oranges and then into yellows-no clouds, just color running across the sky like God's painting in watercolor.

I don't know what lays in store for my day but I know where I will be and who I will be among this morning.
