The Sun is Shining

Hello world!

    So today before class I had a minute and thought I would share with you all a moment from my morning. Since I have the privilege of waking up crazy early everyday, I get to see the sunrise.

    And although I always think to myself, "why do I do this? The sun isn't even up!" and, "My degree had better be worth it." (Spoiler alert: it is). This isn't necessarily a bad thing.

    How many times in our day-to-day lives do we stop to savor the sunrise? This slow awakening of the day is a painting across the sky our great Creator gives us. It is a blessing, and not many times do we appreciate it.

    We sleep through it. Work through it. Go around with our eyes glued to little electronic screens all day without even acknowledging the passing of time. But how often do we realize that time is passing by really fast and that it's a blessing to have even woken up.

    It was a beautiful thing to slow down long enough to partake of this spectacular event this morning. It was even more special because I got to savor it with my beau (my loving, devoted boyfriend of almost two years).

    So please take a minute and watch the sunrise, and, if you have the opportunity, watch it with someone you love. Because it's these little blessings that make everyday life worthwhile.

Sincerely,
Me
xoxo
