appreciate being alive

It was said of a very famous photographer
(Edward Weston, I think),
that he liked to ease his way into the day.
I feel exactly the same.
Get up early,
get out of bed with a smile on your face,
grab a cup of coffee,
find somewhere to really appreciate being alive,
most importantly... praise God...
and ease your way into the day!

"It is in the early morning hour
that the unseen is seen,
and that the far-off beauty and glory,
vanquishing all their vagueness,
move down upon us till they stand
clear as crystal close over against the soul."
