I used to be able to fall into a restful sleep at the drop of a hat. It was a joke at our house because as soon as I settled into an airplane seat or put my head to a pillow I was out like a light.
Now not so much.
My ability to turn off my thoughts is hit and miss. The aches and pains that I powered through as a younger person get my attention now. Maybe learning to ski as a thirty something was a mistake. I was a slow learner and my knees paid the price. Was riding to the summit on a sunny day and skiing down in awe of landscapes I would never have witnessed otherwise worth it?
I think so.
So now I wake up earlier than Summer and my husband.
I suspected there would be a colorful sunrise so I channelled my sneakiest self to quietly look out the window.
This photo was taken through the screened window.
No unsuspecting sleepers were disturbed during this exercise.
Good morning, Mastodon.
