Lemon Tree Passage from the shoreline- just a bit further up from the marina.

March — Alarm Clocks Are Overrated

There is something slightly questionable about getting out of bed while the rest of the world is asleep just to watch the sun come up.

At 4am it feels like a terrible idea.

At 5am you’re still not entirely convinced- but it’s to late to turn back because you’ve already committed and what if I miss something amazing? Just keep climbing.

Then the first light appears over Port Stephens and suddenly you’re standing there thinking, “Well… that was worth it.”

Sunrise has a wonderful way of making yesterday’s problems seem a little smaller.

There is no fanfare. No announcement. The day simply begins.

Another chance.

Another blank page.

Another opportunity to do something useful, kind, brave or slightly ridiculous.

Preferably after coffee.
