I see the rising sun,
\nI rejoice every new day,
\nEach day full of love.

\n

With the increasing pace of our lives and rising stress levels, the  first thing that appears to go flying out the window, is love. It\u2019s not  that we become incapable of experiencing it; we just seem to stop  looking for it, or maybe even actively ignoring the emotion. Maybe it is  about preventing ourselves from being hurt? We\u2019ll never know the exact  reason as we\u2019re all different, unique beings. The best thing we can do  to find out, is experience and observe ourselves, without being in a  hurry to reach a conclusion.

\n

Having said that, I believe we remain very sensitive towards love  nonetheless, melting in the face of a beautiful view from our windows \u2013  sunrises, sunsets, the sight, sound and smell of falling rain \u2013 maybe we  should look out more often? It doesn\u2019t stop there \u2013 animals hugging  each other in forwarded videos, shared stories of kindness, visible  dedication by humans and animals and more \u2013 each such instance evokes  this overwhelming wave of love for a stranger, an unknown being.

\n

But I digress.

\n

Coming back to the affirmation, the rising sun is a symbol of a brand  new day, evidence of our being alive \u2013 which is the greatest gift of  all, its delicate light casting soft shadows all around, bathing our  worlds in the many hues of gold.

\n

Sunrise is a time for being thankful for being able and capable, for  being around for our loved ones, for being thankful for our loved ones  being around us, for having the ability to earn, to learn and to grow in  so many ways.

\n

Sunrise is a time to express our love for ourselves, for others, for  the world as a whole, including every living thing that exists; to  express gratitude for whatever degree of comfort we possess, to  experience hope for the future \u2013 hope based on the undeniable fact that  it isn\u2019t over until it\u2019s over because we have abilities and skills.

\n

Sunrise is when we can experience and reinforce this wide range of  emotions and feelings, all enabled if we allow just a little love to  seep in each morning.

\n

Close your eyes, feel a warm embrace, the tightness of a hug,  take a deep breath, relax your shoulders, let out that breath slowly,  smile, count your blessings and all the reasons you have for being  hopeful of an even better tomorrow, and all the reasons you\u2019re thankful  for being alive today.

\n

Open your eyes to a beautiful, wonderful world, and it\u2019s all yours.
