While I was laying in bed this morning at 4:00, I didn’t realise it would be one of those days. Ya know, one of those  this has to be what heaven looks like days. Or, from a non-religious stand point, one of those humbling days that make you feel like a spec of sand compared to the beauty of our world. I woke up at 4 am this morning and was pissed, because I was having one of those really deep sleeps that can keep you dead until 2:00pm. So after laying there for an hour trying to fall back asleep, I gave up. What can I do until its time to wake Dad up for our morning kayak ride?  Watch the sun rise! What a great way to spend the last day here!

So, after asking Dad if he wanted to join me on my morning adventure and getting groaned at, I proceeded to get dressed, braid my hair, brush my teeth and after grabbing the camera out the door I went. I went jogging down the street to the beach, afraid by the light sky that I may have missed the key of my adventure. When I got to the shore, I was releived to find the sun still hiding behind the ocean. The snow crabs were still out and about, ready to watch the sunrise with me. A group of seagulls were standing on the shore watching too, and let me snap a few pictures. The beach was bare, with but one empty beach chair in sight. It was me, the snow crabs, and the gulls there this morning to welcome the sun to a new day.

Before I left the house I got on the computer to check the sunrise time. 6:00 sharp. I looked at my phone to see how the sun matched up with the time given by weather.com. It was 5:56, and I had started to see a red sun peek up from behind the horizon. By 6:18 the sun was full over the horizon, the dophins were beginning to play, the snow crabs back to their holes in the sand, and the gulls off to fetch breakfast. I stayed, walking along the beach, enjoying the quiet morning before it was time to head back to the house to get Dad up.

Sigh. I can’t think of a better way to start a day. Hope your day started as good as mine!

We forgot to bring the camera cord with us, so I can’t load the pictures until we get home tomorrow. I’ll do my best to have them up by the end of the weekend.

Happy Friday!!
