Quiet Morning Sunrise May 8, 2008

It wasn’t the Qatteri Cat ready for some fun and excitement. It wasn’t AdventureMan “purring.” I woke with a start, thinking “I have to remember to get an appointment for a teeth cleaning!” and once that adrenaline was running through my veins, I knew I wasn’t going to be able to get back to sleep. It was early, but not WAY early. The sun was just up, and it was a beautiful and quiet time of the day.

Who knows why we are wired the way we are wired? I love the holiness of the earliest hours of the day. AdventureMan and QC are still sleeping, I have my coffee, the sun is rising. Alhamd’allah, life is serene and sweet.

It is only 79°F / 26°C, but it is also only 5:45 ayem.

  3. “Beautiful clear sky with maximum temperature of 36 degrees” that’s what the weather man said when I was driving to office this morning. Hoooooorayyyy! Here’s to a no-dust day ;)

    Good morning my friend :)

  5. Good morning dear Intlxpatr :*

    It’s Friday morning and I thought today was a good day for sleeping in (which means I wake up at 8:30 instead of 6:30), but now I want to go to the beach. I think I would like a sunrise swim tomorrow morning, there’s just nothing nicer :)

  6. So you have a nice chalet to go to Ms. B? With lightly pounding surf and a fabulous trove of seashells? With the fresh sweet smell of salt-sea air?
