THE SUN COMES UP, IT'S A NEW DAY DAWNING

The great American Philosophers “Five Iron Frenzy” write:

When I was young, the smallest trick of light, Could catch my eye, Then life was new and every new day, I thought that I could fly. I believed in what I hoped for, And I hoped for things unseen, I had wings and dreams could soar, I just don‘t feel like flying anymore.

Every new day is still an opportunity to dream big. I love new days - I don’t love early mornings - so this shot is very much a rarity for me. I like to live well - I try to give myself challenges that remind me that I am alive. It might be insane things like the adventurous honeymoon that we had - or silly events like the 18.5km Tough Mudder run that I completed in April - but we need to make sure that we are living for a reason - we have been given only so much time and my challenge to myself is to spend the time that I have wisely. In writing this, I realise I spend too much time in front of a screen, and not enough in front of a pair of beautiful kids - I need to make changes that enable me to enjoy the time I have with the people I am closest to!
