Nature's Rhythm


I can't believe how many sunrises I have missed in my in my life! I never liked waking up early, and I've always set the alarm for the last possible minute when I had a choice. This is what I've been missing!

I started getting up early after my sister told me, not long ago, that if we were lucky and statistics were in our favor, that we had only about 250 full moons left in our lifetime. I took it to heart and started watching all sunrises, sunsets, and full moons. I also try to stop and smell most all the roses!

This was taken from my back patio at 6 AM this morning. This was after 0.08 inches of rain.

I'm usually up when the sun rises... I have to be on the road very early with this job. But for some reason the sunrises in the DFW area aren't that impressive. Now the sunsets are amazing... But I agree that we should take the time to notice everything.
