watch the sunrise

is something I never even thought of adding, until a few weeks ago when I noticed that someone had this on their list. There seem to be around 400 people on 43T that have some variation of this goal on their list. Some really just want to see a sunrise again or want to sit and enjoy a sunrise, but there are some people who claim to have never seen a sunrise in their life! That’s just inconceivable to me. I work early and see the sunrise often on my way to work, but have also seen the sun rise in numerous different settings at all different times of the year. When I first moved out to Colorado nearly 25 years ago I worked midnights, and on my way home from work I would stop and hike up a nearby hill to watch the sun rise over Denver.

The pic I attached was taken on my way to work a couple of days ago- the sun rising from the west side of the Denver metro area. The lake that’s barely visible is Standley Lake.

I’m thinking of climbing on the roof of my house and watching the sunrise from there.
It seems like a perfect place because it’s flat and I’ll (hopefully) have a great view from there.
I’ll do it. I just don’t know when I’m too busy these days.

Yes! Let’s wake up really early and watch the sunrise.

There was a particular period of my life about 4 years ago when I regularly watched the sun rise and felt an amazing sense of calm and awareness of the day ahead. I want to have that feeling again!

It ties in with my goal to wake up earlier.

I want to have the time to sit by the window with a cup of tea and just watch. That’s the important thing – to give myself time to appreciate it.

Been up all night as I have the day off tomorrow (or today as it is now) and just checked the BBC weather and they reckon it’s clear skys for sunrise in one hour so might as well seize the day! Moved down to Portsmouth a few months ago so it’s about 5mins drive to the most easterly point of the island. A tiny spit of land jetting out into the sea, should be good. Will try and take a pic.

if I get up when my alarm goes off, another one of my goals

have watched it many times on the way to work and a while back, but would like to sit down properly and just watch again soon

Ive always imagined it to be beautiful, I really see God through nature and feel like im part of something far bigger than myself. Id love to do this one day… but I do like my bed too!? probably try a good time of year with that!

...at Steptoe Butte in Eastern Washington.

Priceless. Check the photo for yourself. If you live in the Pacific Northwest I highly recommend this.

makes it nicer to be up early in the morning!
