I was awake this morning.
I couldn't sleep. There was a cricket somewhere in the laundry room and it was LOUD.
hahaha
It sounded like a frickin choir!
That could be my next CD. "Choir of the Crickets."
I went outside. Listened to the sounds of the birds and the wind. I waited.
Slowly, the sun began to rise.
I got on my bike and rode down the street. The ducks were all hanging out on the road. Two of them were picking a fight.
Some of them were swimming.
I got down to the bridge along the water. I looked up and this giant ball of fire was in the sky.
I raced back to the house and grabbed my camera.
It was as if the sun was saying,
Wake up! Wake up! It's a new day.
No matter what comes.... It's a new day, and you're here, and you are ALIVE.
I couldn't help but smile.
So I unwrapped the gift
and
thanked God.

I woke up between 4:30 and 5:00 AM this morning as well. My serenade was from a couple great horned owls hooting from the rooftop and telephone pole. it’s amazing how loud and persistent they were. When I looked out the window, one was wonderfully sillouetted in the sort of sunrise you showed. Unfortunately, as I fumbled for my camera he flow off.

This was a very lovely and uplifting sharing….thank you so much.
The Choir of the Crickets! Love that concept . . . Sometimes, we should all just stop everything and LISTEN!!
My favorite time of day. I see the sunrise every morning, I walk at work at this time to center myself for the day, and sit under my tree on the weekends. Sometimes I think of all the people still in bed missing the show that God puts on every morning. :) Lovely blog and it made me smile. Beautiful pic as well.
