“Hope begins in the dark, the stubborn hope that if you just show up and try to do the right thing, the dawn will come. You wait and watch and work: you don’t give up.”

Anne Lamott

There is almost nothing better than watching a sunrise over the ocean or the mountains. Every time I have allowed myself to sit and observe the dawning of a new day without rushing or focusing on getting to the next task, it inspires such peace and satisfaction with life. The rising of the sun is a harbinger of hope.  

The natural beauty is we have this EVERY. SINGLE. DAY. Nothing has yet marred the surface, and each day is ripe with potential. Why would you ever give up? No matter what happens today, the sun will rise tomorrow. It is a beautiful chance to simply begin again.
