Rise Up

“Surprise is the greatest gift which life can grant us.” – Boris Pasternak

My idea of sleeping in is another person’s idea of waking up early. I slept in over the weekend. I woke up at 7:30. Keep in mind, I normally wake up around 5:30 every morning. That’s two hours later than usual. I used to sleep in later. Since I get up so early during the week during the week, once daylight comes around, I’m up. When it comes to staying up late, I’m usually in bed pretty early.

One advantage to waking up early on vacation is I get to enjoy peaceful mornings. One of my favorite things to do is enjoy a calm morning with a cup of coffee. Another advantage is I get to see the sunrise. During our last winter break, the family and I took an 11-day cruise around the Caribbean. I stayed up New Year’s Eve, but still managed to wake up early. So, I headed over to the rear of the ship with my camera to capture the sunrise.

Check out this video I captured of the sunrise.
