Good Morning!

Since I've been working 3rd shift I've seen my share of sunrises. If you would have asked me a year ago which I liked better, sunrises or sunsets, I would have said sunsets, no contest. Well now I'm gonna have to say without a doubt sunrises. There is just something special about sunrises or maybe it's just morning in general. The air is cool and crisp, the sky is dark blue and at the horizon there are shades of pink, purple, sometimes red or orange...i don't know how to even describe it, but it is awesome looking. Then when you are driving home, there aren't many vehicles out yet and there are little patches of fog and everything is wet from dew.

This is what my morning was like on Sunday morning after working a 12 hr shift. I took the back roads home so I wouldn't have to pay attention to the road as much and I could watch the sky...no i'm not the brightest crayon in the box but that's ok. Anyways, it was really pretty. Then I pass the church and I decided to stop and visit my grandparents grave. I'm really not one to stop and talk to the deceased but I had the urge. I didn't stay too long...I think it was one whole minute. After that I started to drive the rest of the way home...one whole mile. :) I was driving incredible slow for a few reasons.
1. I live down a stone road and try to drive slow if I have the time.
2. I was still admiring the sunrise.
3. I was looking for deer in the field b/c it seems like one or two deer always cross the road when i'm driving home early in the morning.

So I'm driving along and I look over to my right and I pass by two deer standing out in the half harvested corn field. I stopped the car put it in reverse and let it idle back. Oh yea, they were definately checking me out to see what the heck I was doing. But they didn't run. So I had my camera in the car so i snapped a picture of them. They just stood there and starred at me for awhile and went about their business like I wasn't even there. It was great! I love nature in the morning! Anyways that just got me thinking of how great God's creation is. Then I started thinking that this isn't even going to compare to what heaven is going to be like. That's exciting!

So anyway there is absolutely no point to this post except for me to tell anybody who cares that I like mornings and to waste time before I go into work.

Johnny Cash and Frank Sinatra

I love Frank and Johnny. They made me relax before I allowed myself to throw my medical terminology CD-ROM out the window after smashing into a billion tiny pieces. sigh. Explanation -> I have to take my quizes from this disc and I'm pretty sure it hates me. In order to pass we are required to get a 90% in each seperate category. I double check my answers like 3 times...that's a total of 6 checks! You'd think I would get the 90%, but no i don't, b/c the disc is evil. So anyways I spent like 2 hours just trying to pass one category from one chapter and to this very second I still haven't got it! I was about ready to destroy the disc but I decided to eat a chocolate cupcake w/ choc. frosting and choc. sprinkles and listen to Cash and Sinatra instead. Calmed me right down.

So I've realized this week that I'm running on an extremely high stress level due to work, school, upcoming baptism, lack of sleep, and other things. I've become a not so happy person and I don't like not being happy. I need some stress relievers. If anyone has any suggestions other than chocolate that would be great.

Well that's all for now. Until next time, Good night and God Bless!
