SUNRISE -A JANUARY MOMENT

Sunrise. Sunset. The first lines of a song from Fiddler on the Roof. While watching the sun rise this morning from my pink bathroom that faces east, some thoughts came to mind. Why is the sunrise so beautiful to us? Why is the sunset so beautiful to us? While the midday sun gets no credit for anything!

Sunsets and sunrises are so metaphoric in their meaning of life. A day in the life of a person. From sunrise to sunset! Although the night can bring some wonderful aspects of life too! Like the moon and the stars! I often look at the sunrise thinking how the sun is shining for all humanity! It brings us warmth and helps all crops to grow! Sunshine gives us some Vitamin D! Photographers take copious amount of pictures of sunrises and sunsets. Everyone's travel pictures always includes at least one photo! Nevertheless, there is something humbling about a beautiful sunrise. It makes me a little closer to God and wanting to say a little prayer as the day is welcomed. A simple thank you to have another day is a good start! Sometimes more important than a good breakfast! Spiritual food for the day! As life moves along, the joy to have another day, another sunrise. Life appreciated!
