Sunrise at Arches National Park. Isn’t it beautiful?
I just had printed a photo book about that trip and had such a nice time reliving those memories that I’m dying to go back. Luckily, another adventure is just around the corner!
But seriously… isn’t it pretty?
I found this picture on my phone this week and keep thinking about it. The only thing better than a road trip with the sunrise in your rearview mirror is a road trip with the sun rising ahead of you.
Winter still has a stronghold here in Ohio but it seems like a good time to start thinking about a spring road trip. It doesn’t hurt to dream, right? Happy Tuesday!
There’s nothing more beautiful than the sun rising over a still Winter morning. Have a lovely day, friends.
This was the view from my bedroom window at sunrise one recent morning. Fire in the sky is a nice morning surprise.
Still round the corner there may wait
A new road or a secret gate
And though I oft have passed them by
A day will come at last when
Shall take the hidden paths that run
West of the Moon, East of the Sun.
J.R.R. Tolkien
Isn’t this an exciting idea? Your next adventure could be just down the road. Happy Friday, friends!
I took a little road trip this weekend. It’s funny how easy it is to hop out of bed when you have somewhere fun to be. In fact, I was up early enough to see the sunrise every day. One morning I watched it from the Lincoln Bridge in Vincennes, Indiana. Yesterday it was from the car as I drove the National Road through western Ohio.
There is nothing more powerful than the sun and yet we tend not to notice it most days. It just happens. It’s there. But if you stop and watch, it’s pretty amazing.
There’s also something optimistic about seeing the sun rise. I felt an urge to be outside, to witness the dawn of each day. And I felt better for it.
I made a vow that I would try to do this more, to see sunrises, not just on vacation but every chance I get. Sadly, I know this was a lie. It would be lovely to follow through but life tends to get in the way.
The lies we tell ourselves, right?
