watch the sunrise

Let's watch one sunrise this week. It is such a simple delight.

My favourite is to be outside twenty minutes before the sun rises. There is something about the smell of the earth just before sunrise that is soothing to my soul.

I like to sit in silence, bare feet on the ground until at least twenty minutes past the time the sun hits the horizon. (There are so many trees around my backyard that I can't see the horizon so it's nice to get a bit of an actual glimpse of the sun before moving into the next part of the day.) Often I feel so calm while watching the sun I sit longer than I intended. However, if you can only catch five minutes of sunrise, that's great too!

If you wear glasses or contacts, try watching the sunrise without them. Your eyes may thank-you for the full set of light waves being allowed to pass through.
