Surrendering to the Sunrise

After a restless nights sleep for the second day in a row, waking up this morning the last thing I wanted to do was to hit the pavement for a run. However, as I talked myself off my army green coat and out from beneath the sheets I decided that I would be able to sleep better the rest of the morning if I just spent a few minutes up and about. Walking out into the main room of the office I was taken about by two things: 1) an abundance of 3 inch flying bugs that sounded like little airplanes dying (making it nearly impossible to sit at my computer by the table) and 2) the magnificent colors of the sunrise as morning was just arising. The pull of the beauty of the earth was just enough to win over my body's desire to retreat back to bed and before I knew it I was inching my way across the ridges that line the horizon of Rwanda.  

A beautiful way to began what looks to be a very productive and fulfilling Friday.
