Amanecer (Sunrise)

What’s your favorite time of day?

I sometimes scroll through other bloggers’ responses to the Day One Prompts just out of curiosity. Today, when I scrolled through, it was a blogger that said, “Who cares what your favorite time of day is.” I laughed my ass off. I don’t know why it was so funny. It makes me wonder if that is their response to all the Day One Prompts. It just seems weird to say that for just this one. The reality is that the majority of people don’t care about any of our answers to the prompts. But we answer it because there is just enough people that give a shit to make it worthwhile.

For the people who do care, my favorite time of day would be sunrise. I have gone back and forth with myself on whether it was sunrise or sunset. Ultimately, I chose sunrise because it is the start of the day. The sky lightens, and as the sun comes up, it fills the sky with all these pretty, muted yellows, purples, pinks, and oranges. It is usually pretty quiet except for the birds chirping and singing. The temperature may require a little jacket or not. You can look forward to the day ahead realizing it has infinite possibilities.

For as much as I love sunrises, I haven’t seen one in a while. I don’t have any new pictures of sunrises or sunsets, for that matter. I do have a few old pictures.

I don’t know what I did any of these mornings after taking these pictures. I do know I felt uplifted from the beauty and awe of the miracle of a new day. I know I said I wanted a house on the water facing the sunrise so I could go to the restroom and come back to look at the sun from the comfort of my home. I would get annoyed when I had to use the restroom and therefore had to return home. When what I really wanted to do was drink coffee and stare out at the sun and the water all day. Oh well, one day.

I am asking because, unlike the other blogger, I do care. Lol. What is your favorite time of day? It can be as simple as nap time. My friend Monica listed naps 3 times on her 30 Things That Make Me Happy list ๐Ÿ˜†. Or dinner time. I get it. I love to eat too. There is no wrong answer. Be well and whole. Much Love ๐Ÿงก ๐Ÿ’š
