At 4:30 my alarm went off - I hit snooze....at 4:40 it went off again and I got up - got dressed - got into my husband's car and we drove and drove....
We then got out of the car and hiked to the "perfect spot" at this point we then waited.......
While waiting - others joined us.....we didn't know them, but for that moment they were our friends....we were all friends...we were all there for the same reason and we were all ready and excited for the same thing.
We talked - we laughed, we took pictures...then all at once we got quiet.....
Ahead of us was the most amazing sight.....the Sunrise.
Such a simple thing - it happens everyday - yet when we take the time to view it - we are in complete amazement and wonder.
The sky filled with beautiful hues of red, orange, purple, blue, white, and more......
Pictures snapped the beauty. Offers of taking pictures of each other in front of it were given. And for those few minutes all of the world stood still and everyone admired the beauty and wonder in which live each and everyday in.
With that moment I truly appreciated life, and what it has given to me - and the gratitude for simple things like a Sunrise, being able to appreciate it, being able to share it with my best friend, and everyone around us.
After the sun peeked through the clouds then finally broke through a few more pictures were snapped and then everyone started on their day.
We sat there for a few more moments taking the glory in and then we also continued on our path.
As we all rode down that windy path back to our starting places things were different. People were moving a little more slower, smiles were bigger, patience was extended, and we were all different somehow....
