Sharing the sunrise 12/16/11

• Still not feeling great but we got out on the beach before the sunrise.  Cool but not cold, barely a breeze.  The sunrise was dazzling, as always, but the best part was sharing it with my SGD:  saying "look" and "did you see that;" having our fingers laced together as we walked; holding his coffee mug while he snapped pictures; dodging the seagulls flying perilously low over our heads; stopping for a hug or kiss just because it felt right; helping each other up and down the tall sand shelf; counting contrails; gazing at the sunrise and seeing the exact same thing at the exact same moment.  Priceless.
• Sending a Happy Birthday Shout-Out to my sister Sonya!!  Enjoy your day!
