sunrise, sunrise... looks like morning in your eyes..

but the clock's held 9:15 for hours
sunrise, sunrise, couldn't tempt us if it tried
'cause the afternoon's come and gone

'an I say who-oo-oo-oo
who-oo-oo-oo
who-oo-oo-oo
do you?

'Sunrise' by Norah Jones

What’s better than the dawn of a new day? A new chance to do just about anything, or if you’re really lucky ‘nothing at all’... 'Course, it’s almost impossible to do nothing at all. In fact, it would be damn difficult to do nothing at all.

If you look closely, even here I’m not doing nothing at all.. I’m smiling.. and embracing a shiny new day while the sun touches my face for the first time.. today.. And listening to the waves wash up on the sand.. the sea foam hissing as uncountable little bubbles form and burst.. Reveling in the morning breeze, bringing the scent of salt water and an occasional whiff of bacon frying somewhere far away… Sea gulls are whirling around me, searching for and fighting over scraps from yesterday’s picnics, and shore birds wander along the waterline, turning over shells and running from each incoming wave..

Yeah – there’s a whole lot of nothing going on – and I’m real busy doin’ it…
