“Sunrise…My favourite time of the day!”

Sunrise has always been my favourite time of the day and I am still enjoying it from My childhood days. I love the feeling it leaves Me with just seeing and knowing that daylight has come. It gets me excited and I am so happy to be awake because I know all the things I can get up to and all the noise I can make in all the daylight hours I have to do them all. Being awake, busy and physically active in the day time was and is an adventure I look forward to every day.

It stems from My Life on a serious note, where I had and still have this challenge of insomnia since the age of seven years old and I have always been annoyed with having to be silent at night while others were asleep. I had to find many other things to do to occupy the silent night adventures. This is where My love for reading, writing, watching TV, playing video games and My best one, showing My love and playing with My dog…all started. As I got older, I realised that I could also eat if I wanted to…that came with consequences though because My Mum would hear Me and come to chase Me to bed… I would say “Okay” then sit quietly next to the TV and play games with the volume off! A routine I was happy with. Reading was hard to do at night as that meant having the light on which, for some reason, that seems to get many people in a frenzy…

Anyhoo, when morning came and the sun shone, it firstly made Me happy as it always brought a peaceful calmness to My soul and to date, it still does. I strive to attain Peace daily. On most days I succeed but many a day have I failed. This does not stop Me though. I will continue to find My Peace daily so that I can find that eternal tranquility that My heart and soul looks for. It is something that we all should look for. This is the success we need in this world.

I write about this today as My insomnia-challenge has taken a different twist being locked down and so My longing for the morning sunrise is a timeless moment that I am happy to share with My own thoughts every day. It is the simple delights of the world that drive My love for being alive and these days, most importantly…staying alive.

Be, Feel and Stay well.

With all My Love – Aarti.
