good morning beautiful!

The things you miss out on while you're sleeping..

So it's not the best picture, I should have gone outside and taken a better shot from the road instead of just my living room window, but hey it was 6:45 am, can you blame me for not? NO, you can't. lol. So here's the story...

I never get up before 8:00. Except for this one week my friend Ashleigh got me into running the Kahuku bike path with her, she is one motivated mama (literally she has a baby and one on the way). She goes running at 7 in the morning, so I woke up bright and early at 6:45 (which I seriously don't think I've woken up that early since high school days), I got up and walked towards my kitchen and was stopped in my tracks when I noticed the rising sun peeking in through my living room window at me. The sight was breath taking!! I ran to my room, grabbed my camera, and took a picture through the window. The picture doesn't exactly do justice to what it really looked like, but just know that it was gorgeous, bright, you could see sun rays, it was just beautiful. It was as if the sun was inviting me to start my day with her, giving me a personal "good morning!" and letting me know the day was sure to be a good one. Seeing natures beauty made me happy inside and it kind of set the tone for the rest of the day, I was grateful to live in a such beautiful world. Life's simple pleasures are the best. I was grateful to Ashleigh for getting me out of bed that early so that I could realize what kind of things I miss out on when I'm sleeping my life away.
