1. being up early enough to see the sunrise.
2. the colors of the sky before the sun actually rises.
3. the way the horses i passed on my way to my hair appointment were standing, noses together, looking like they were whispering.
4. changing up the ratio (slightly) of my darker & lighter highlights & liking the way it turned out.
5. seeing Jed Lowrie hit the first home run at the Mets' new field--a grand slam, no less!--in the last Spring Training game of 2009. i don't care how meaningless the game was in the scope of the season, a grand slam is always exciting and i sure don't mind that the Sox finished up the preseason with some fire in their bats.

you have the sunrise. i have the sunset. :)
I've never seen sunset over the Pacific, but I think the Pacific Ocean is breathtakingly beautiful and I *love* sunsets. I have to imagine that sunset over "your" ocean is positively gorgeous!
"being up before sunrise?"
Ok, I have seen this, and it is lovely, but I hope this was because you stayed up all night, then when to bed, cause otherwise, YIKES, your an early bird!
If you are an early bird, I have to ask, what is that like to be able to wake up every morning, no problem. I am a hard wired night owl, and I need 3 alarms and my wife to wake me up.
RileyScott: I am both an early bird *and* a night owl! I love being awake when most of the world is still quiet & asleep. Now... 2-5pm? That part of the day is evil. I've never had a hard time waking up. My internal clock goes off after about 6 hours of sleep every day! Unless I'm sick or way behind on sleep for some reason.
What a brilliant genetic gift.
I unfortunately suffer from delayed sleep phase syndrome. What his means is that, unlike the vast majority of individuals, my body wants to sleep from 3am-11am, instead of the usual 10pm-6am. Therefore, I rarely can get more then 4 hours of sleep a night during the work week. Just a little more about me...probably more then you wanted to know, but oh well
There's something about the clouds that have been catching my attention lately. It reminds me that there is something bigger than what I see or feel.
This was very interesting, and very true! People need to take the time in life to enjoy and notice the little things!
RileyScott: What are blogs for if not sharing all kinds of random information about ourselves in whatever style or on whatever topic we happen to choose, right? ;-)
