As the new days rise

Sometimes it comes down to one moment. The one thing that can tip your perception of something dramatically. The thing that makes everything feel OK.

Our vacation hadn't been going well, honestly. We had many great moments, but up until the last night/day, the bumps were basically outweighing the good. And then I woke up early one morning on the last day, having slept not at all in a tent on the beach on Padre Island. The sun wasn't up yet. And then, after a long walk with my oldest daughter, it was.

And suddenly nothing was bad. How could it be.

"But there is a truth and it's on our side/Dawn is coming, open your eyes/Look into the sun as the new days rise."
