Today i woke-up very early than usual..at 5:30 am, it is after a long time when i wokeup so early after passing my student life..It was such a wonderful experience seeing the rising sun, slowly moving upwards, scattering its rays all over..sweet birds' chirping and blossoming buds..hundreds of thoughts and memories flashed within those few moments and suddenly i realized how much time has been passed, life has been moved so fast in last few years...cant describe the whole experience..it was like "aleph" as paulo coelho described..dont know..

I have a tree just outside my window. If I am up early I see the squirrels playing in the limbs of the tree. And I think our sunsets are actually prettier than the sunrises. My dad passed away about fifteen years ago. He was a photographer and loved sunsets.

All creatures look cute until they dont mess up your home :D few days earlier some squirrels get used to enter into my kitchen through the window and we didn't know about it till the day when i suddenly caught them in one afternoon. Then we covered that window with a net. We use to keep some food for them in the balcony but they becoming more greedy and more friendly with us.. :)

Wow, i see that you are a morning person, waking up really early does feel good, I'm not sure why but i am more energetic if i wake up around that time, and its still cool outside and it feels good. Sometimes, i consider waking up that early as an achievement, i think its the best part of the day.

oh no, i am not a morning person really, though i try to be but couldn't continue this good habit. Its true, the early risers feel more energetic all the day in comparison to late risers. I read somewhere, the rays from the sun in the mornings have good radiations for our health and mood, but it tends to acquire more harmful rays like uv as the days go on..specially in afternoons.

That explains a lot haha. Looks like waking up early has effects on us not only physically but psychologically as well.

I am never up that early my friend, I am more of a nocturnal person, I am more active at night, so I tend to stay up till about 1 or 2 in the morning, and I am up at noon, so I miss that. However today I noticed that the cherry blossoms were starting to come out, next month they will turn pink. Today was also the first time this year that I smelt the wonderful smell of freshly cut grass. I can't believe already we are 3 months into the new year. Time does indeed go incredibly fast.

I cant keep myself in one particular category, sometimes i tend to be a nocturnal creature, sometimes like to be a good early riser :) depends on requirements..but i would prefer to be a morning person with a disciplined routine if possible.

I love it when I see a orange sunrise or sunset. On my travels I have seen some wonderful sunrises like I did from the top of a Mayan ruin in Guatemala. I could see it change from dark blackness to purple, blue, yellow and orange then came along a deep orange color. I saw the green jungle and the birds began chirping. Where I live a sunrise can be orange color over the rooftops opposite.

Yup. It is a lovely sight. TO see the sun rise from over the horizon. When in college, we used to go to this tekdi behind our college and sit there on the hill top to watch the sun rise. It used to be fun.

hi maury, I have to say that I am not familiar with your last sentense as to what it was like...But your description was certainly enough for me to visualize the beauty of that rising sun with the scattered rays all over..I am just missing those' sweet birds chriping and blossomming buds...See the sun does rise just like that here but its still winter and the birds and buds have not shown up yet....But I am sure I will be enjoying them soon in a couple of months.. Thanks for sharing the vision///

Hello bjc, winter is over and autumn has been started here, even we can see cluster of blossoms of mango and neem and can hear noice of cuckoos on them all the day. Sometimes i imitate their voice to tease them and then they shout more loudly.. :D Winter mornings have their own beauty, I am sure it would also be a nice experience to see rising sun's rays over the snow or behind the fog..as i live in a tropical area so experiencing snow and fog is something unique for me..In the last sentence i was talking about Paulo Coelho's recent book "aleph", he is a very famous writer, in the book he described about a state of mind in which he use to visualize the things related to his past life and he named that state 'aleph"..

a ha ,Have a nice morning,since it's so late to say that to you this moment. We've learned the sentence "how time flies", but we don't know what really mean is until grow up, especially after have a job. I'm so lazy people that usually get up at 8:00am ,maybe i'll up a little earlier tomorrow to see the scenery you described.

yes it takes some time to understand the meaning of some simple sayings untill we really feel it..its true,by waking up early one feels more energetic all the day, but dont worry if your job schedule doesn't allow, taking rest properly is also important. Just try to see and feel nature's beauty and creation around you it will make you feel happy :)

Hi jenny, thats true In today's fast moving world, people have less time now a days to see beauty around and to appreciate what life given us..I see some people hurried and worried all the time, I feel lucky i could nurture this ability to see positivity and beauty around in myself..:)

See there is a time for everything , a time for school and a time to rest. So now you will savor the things which you skip because of school. It pays to study hard and savor the fruit of your sacrifices later . Life is more beautiful especially now that you have done school. All good things are coming your way , in other words good karma is there now.

Hi, I dont think i had have to skip anything because of school though there were a lot of restrictions but yet i enjoyed that life, life is beautiful till now, no complains so far, may be its because i or my parents never did anything wrong towards anyone..i hope we can manage it as it is in future :) thankyou for your lovely response.
