there is something about the morning light.

it's soothing.

refreshing.

and 

inspiring.

I woke up this morning, bright and early,

(a daily routine these days since I'm on Josh's schedule)

and just sat on the sofa as the early morning light filled the room.

it really was beautiful.

is there a time of day you find to be the most inspiring to you?
