It's Often Worth the Pain

I got a 6:30 wake up call this morning and a choice to go back to sleep. It is never easy to suck it up and roll out of bed, but I did it. At least there was no preparation involved in hopping in the car, coffee canister in one hand, apple in the other, to go for an early morning sight seeing drive.

Headed out to watch the sun rise over the mountains to the east and light up the mountains to the west. Definitely worth rising with the animals as they too appeared, hunting for their morning catch. It was the wildest thing to see coyotes jump in an arched stature to prance on their prey. We also saw two moose feeding along the waters edge. What amazing creatures, there are only so many animals with such immensity!

So worth waking up for, sometimes you just gotta suck it up and make the little bit of extra effort because often you will never realize what you missed out on because you weren't there too see how truly awesome life can be.

I even got to go back and sleep for 2 more hours, so it ended up being painful only for the moment that I had to convince myself to get out of bed.

  1. Agreed. Although sometimes it is hard to see the beauty in getting up so early, it does often turn out to be well worth the struggle. Especially when you have someone there in the bunk beneath you to yell and throw things at you when you really do have to get up. :)
