This is the view from my back patio. I usually wake up with the sun. My bedroom window faces east, so I can see the early morning rays peaking through my blinds. As soon as I catch a glimmer of pink through my barely open eyes, I literally jump out of bed. I actually run to the back door, phone in hand, and stand in awe of each new dawning day. I get the biggest, goofiest grin on my face, and clap with excitement. I am SOOOO happy to see the sunrise each and every morning. I take a picture almost every day. How can I not when this is what I see?! It fills my heart to bursting! This is my sacred moment. This is my contemplative time. This is when I feel the closest to God. I always think: I can't believe I was lucky enough to catch a glimpse of this gift.
