Sunrise

On the 31st of July I watched my first sunrise of 2018. It's something I've been wanting to do for a while but never came around to doing it... because 1.) I'm not really a morning person and 2.) I value my sleep, but I figured this one time will be an exception. My last memory of watching a sunrise was in primary school with my best friends. This was probably around 2005 which was a long long time ago - over a decade to be exact lol. I remember sleeps overs were a big deal in primary school, it was exciting and it meant no sleep just girl talk. And that's what we did... talked all night till it was eventually the morning. I vividly remember looking at the clock and telling the girls it was almost 5am. So we got our blankets, sat on the trampoline in the backyard and huddled up together watching the sunrise. It's a cute and innocent memory that I'll always remember.

Back to the present, the walk to Hornby Lighthouse was calming and refreshing. You're given a view of the beautiful ocean and once you're uphill you can see everything! I enjoyed it even though I was half asleep, it was most definitely worth it waking up at 5am. I sat on the rock in silence and just watched the sun glisten on the ocean. I felt at peace for the first time in days and for a moment it was as if all my worries were gone. Thank you mother nature for blessing this world with such beauty.

It was a beautiful morning and I'm glad I have another memory of watching the sunrise that I can cherish.

Much love, Jen.
