Creating 2015—Day 25:   Dawn

I finally slept eight straight hours without getting up to pee!  Now, I realize for many people that might not be something to boast about but for me, well, it is.  I’m a night pee-er.  Usually at least once, half way through my slumber, I wake up in the middle of the night to go whiz.  The main reason is because I’m also a night tea drinker.  I’ve tried to break myself of this habit but I do love my cup o’ chamomile before bed.  I also have a few vitamins I take with water right before bed.  Thus, my peeing mid-way through sleepy time issues.   It’s fuzzy in my brain now but I’m pretty sure I did NOT have my tea last night before bed, just took my vitamins.  That explains it.  Why am I so happy about not peeing in the middle of the night?  Because I woke up nice and early.  I woke up at dawn.  Which is my favorite time of the day.

The definition of dawn is delicious.  As a noun dawn means daybreak or beginning.  As an intransitive verb it means begin, become apparent, start to exist.  Hmmmm, let’s start to exist!  Personally, I think of dawn as the time before the sunrise.  The sun is on its way but it hasn’t made a full appearance yet.  But you can start to see.  It’s waking up the world with its light.

 Oh, there it is.  The full blown sunrise.  Beautiful.

Sunrise

I feel awake.  Alive.  Rested.  Ready to create a new day…and some clean clothes.

Until tomorrow, create from what you have…a new day.
