Sunrise

This morning I saw the sunrise.  It wasn't something that I set out to do -- not that it is all that hard to do this time of year -- it just sort of happened.  Actually it was still dark when I got up, and while I would have preferred to stay in bed and catch the sun a little later, my companions had other ideas.  I like the idea of seeing the sun rise, greeting the new day and imagining the promises of things to come, but most days it's more likely that I'm feeding someone, trying to convince someone one to get dressed or cleaning up someone's mess.

This morning was different ... this morning I saw the sun rise, and it was nice!
