This morning I had to cross the longest bridge over water in North America.
It’s 24 miles long and had bumper to bumper traffic! Ugh!
But when I looked over towards the city,
there was a beautiful sunrise with rays of light over the city.
I grabbed my cell phone, snapped these photos, and realized there was no need to stress.
I said a quick prayer, still made it on time and have some promising projects in the pipeline.
The point of this story is that today, I was thankful for this peaceful moment
that was made possible thanks to traffic.

It been a long time since I’ve been on that bridge and I do remember the scenery getting a bit old! I love the sunrise you captured and I love that you were able to find something beautiful and lovely during your long drive!

It’s always nice when you can remember what’s truly important. And beautiful sunrises are pretty high on my list!
