Everyone has experience the marvel of an amazingly beautiful sunset. \u00a0For a brief moment the morning sky explodes into a kaleidoscope of color.<\/p>\n
Merriam-Webster \u00a0defines a sunrise<\/strong>\u00a0as\u00a0the apparent rising of the sun above the horizon. \u00a0<\/em> Well after six hours of Astronomy, at the University of Texas at Arlington, \u00a0I can assure you the sun is not rising. \u00a0It is the rotation of the earth that make it appear to (that is the extent of my science knowledge). \u00a0Science aside my definition of a sunrise<\/strong>\u00a0is\u00a0a really good reason to get up early in the\u00a0morning an hit the backroads.<\/em><\/p>\n It is amazing that many mornings the new day is welcomed in with such beauty. \u00a0At that moment\u00a0you can gaze at the horizon and reflect on what the day will bring. \u00a0Sunsets are for sharing with others – hopefully with a message that all is good. \u00a0We then go through the days ups and downs anticipating what is to come………what goes \u00a0up must go down……. the encore…….sunset!<\/p>\n I found a simple poem by Margo S. \u00a0I hope Margo is ok with me using this because it describes a sunrise perfectly:<\/p>\n SUNRISE “Simplicity is the ultimate satisfaction” <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Everyone has experience the marvel of an amazingly beautiful sunset. \u00a0For a brief moment the morning sky explodes into a kaleidoscope of color.

\nLook around you, and you will see.<\/p>\n
