I’ve always felt there was something magical about sunrises. I stood there sipping on my cup of coffee watching the orange & pinks move up thru the clouds over the Indiana fields.
With every breath I take the sky transforms just a little bit more colorful. It’s as if I was watching a movie. But it’s the movie called “real life”.
There are so many things I’m supposed to do before I head back to Quincy, Illinois for another work week at the hospital. Rounding out the last few weeks of my 13 week travel assignment.
But I decided all those things could wait. I knew I wouldn’t experience this moment again. Ever. This moment, if not lived, is gone. Forever. And that is now how I approach life at 41 years old.
And so I stayed. Watched & marveled. I felt at ease. Filled with joy. Happy. Yes, I was happy. And I’m sure I was smiling even though nobody was watching me.
I try my best to sip & savor every luscious drop of life I can. I call myself an “experience collector,” unapologetically here to receive all the moments of loving. 💕😉
(Side note for my newbies, WELCOME BTW🫶, I’m a travel radiographer💀. Its easier just to say #travelnurse because most people relate & understand what that means 😆🚑🏥)
Every sunrise begins with new eyes. The night can never defeat the sunrise. I’ve always been a “morning person.” 🌅 🦅
A Sunrise – you can watch it, you can breathe it, you hear it, you can touch it, you can taste it, you can FEEL it. Every sunrise holds more promise, & every sunset holds more peace…
Have you ever woken up early to watch the sun greet you & bring a new morning?
Creatives of all shades (writers, painters, musicians, artists, in general) have always brought sunrises into their work, dazzled by their magnetism & power. Like a Muse.
Can you still remember the last time you were hypnotized by the smell of that first day of Spring, early in the morning?
Sunrises bring fresh new starts. Whether it’s rainy or sunny, dawn – or the first light of day – is a synonym for genesis.
Have you ever fallen asleep in the warm blanketing rays? Felt the magic & colors at the first rays?
Unforgettable right?! They’re experiences that add dimension to your recharge & rest — your essence & your BEing
This time of watching the sun rise above the horizon is something I will remember & fill another page of my storybook of life.
“The secret to a good morning is to watch the sunrise with an open heart.” — Anthony T. Hincks
Let the sunshine ignite & deliciously paint your soul today with whatever colors you need. ☀️ 🎨 🖍️
Enjoy a bit of my morning & thoughts that hopefully will shed some light on a new perspective this week☀️🫶
