Morning

 

When you arise int he morning, think of what a precious privilege it is to be alive - to breathe, to think, to enjoy, to love.

~ Marcus Aurelius

I try to be grateful in the morning.  Even if it is EARLY.  That is not simply because I know by the end of the day I will be ungrateful.  Which sometimes happens.  It is more to try and start on a positive note.  It's another day.  Another opportunity.  Another beginning.  The start of another adventure. 

When the sun comes up in the morning, it is a sign it is going to be a day.

Unless you live somewhere where the sun shines for 24 hours a day.  In that case, it is a sign it's going to be a LONG day.
