Sunrises make me happy...

My alarm goes off.. I open my eyes and I see nothing..
Why?
because today, like every other weekday, I am up before the sun is....
Every morning I get ready for work as the light slowly starts to trickle into my room....

I am not tthe type who likes to wake up early and take my time doing things. I like to sleep a couple of minutes later than I should and do everything in a rush. I am definately a last minute type of person.

Today I had a lot of work I had to do before I went to work so I had to wake up early. I was walking around my house enjoying my first cup of coffee. I was not running like I do every other day. I stepped into the living room and I was left breathless. The living room has very large windows that look out at nothing. The view is actually of nothing. Of one of the few places in Cairo that has not yet been raped and marred by construction. The view is actually not attractive at all. Today the view was different.
From these windows overlooking nothing, I saw one of the most beautiful sunrises I have ever seen. I saw the most beautiful shades of the prettiest colors.
They were pale and intense and they were all mixed in this perfect harmony that would be impossible even to the most talented artist.
I watched as Cairo went from a dark cold city to a bright city. I watched the shadows of the trees start to form. I watched and I was happy.
