The numbering of photo posts seemed really boring so I thought I'd give this one a name. And, I am so clever I am calling it "Autumn Sunrise". I do realize it is Saturday, I had a busy day at work and then took my son to celebrate his school's 50th birthday, I was so tired I got in bed at about 8 last night. These last couple weeks of pregnancy have been a doozy. I'm quite moody :)
I woke up to see the sunrise ( I don't sleep for very long these days ), brewed my coveted pumpkin coffee, and headed out to the deck to take a picture and enjoy the view.
We have a second story deck so that's why you see the tree tops. The sky started out an orange color and then turned to this pinkish purple. It is very pretty, but I couldn't stay out for long because the morning temperature was 43 * F. Too chilly for my tastes.
The sunrise is a really great time to pause, take a deep breath, and clear your head for the new day. I try to acknowledge my negative feelings, and then let them go to make space for a new day. I tend to hang out to thoughts and stew, so this is a good way to "clean house" for the new day.
Have a great weekend!

Gorgeous photo and yes, the morning skies, trees, birds and especially squirrels, are a great way to clear away negative thoughts and begin fresh. Thanks for sharing, Katie!!!
ReplyDeleteyour welcome! Yes, squirrels are fun to watch. Did you know they have handed-ness?
DeleteOh so pretty. I love the stillness, in your words and the picture. My mornings aren't slow at all - seeing I'm at work at 7am! At least i sit down to eat and read some blogs
ReplyDelete7 is early to be at work. My body really doesn't like to get up before 7, but on work days I get up around 6:30. I am glad you at least eat breakfast! Yum.
