A beautiful sunrise

Stayed up late last night reading until way up in the morning. I have no idea when I put the book down and went to sleep. I do know that it was still dark outside. And then when I rolled out, the sun was just starting to light the eastern sky outside the bathroom window. A beautiful sunrise.

Today is like the last steps up to the precipice that marks the end of one incredible journey and the beginning of another. It’s been a good year. Finished some of what was started. Started some more. Some risk. Some loss. Some hard. Some gain. I suspect that we’ll just let the year end quietly. Just like it started 365 days ago, in the middle of the night. Humbly. Lots to celebrate. To God be the glory.

Today is about breathing. About remembering. And about saying goodbye. There will be plenty of time to look ahead, beginning tomorrow.
