"I noticed a light."

This morning a beautiful thing happened.

As Ripley scaled the walls of the furnace, I noticed a light from outside. It wasn't the sky simply getting brighter as it's known to do each morning. I rose from my recliner and looked outside to see a bright orange light flooding the street from the east.

It's not that this occurrence hasn't happened before; it's just that it's been a while. Seeing the sun shine brightly caused me to squint as I drove to work, but it immediately lifted my mood. I could practically feel my skin making Vitamin D. This small happenstance had a profound psychological impact that instantly put me in a good mood. Nature is a wondrous thing.
