Thank You Sun

I enjoyed a beautiful sunrise this morning on my way to work. Driving East up 13th Avenue to Bay Street, there it was, a big red/orange ball of sun, only almost too bright to look at. I smiled and immediately felt happy. I turned right on Bay St. and noticed a young woman crossed the street with her camera and was poised to take a picture of the magnificent sight. A little further on I saw a pack of happy dogs crossing the street. They jumped up on the seawall and looked as though they too glanced at the sun before jumping over the other side. To my right I noticed a stray dog franticly sniffing where the pack had been. I watched for him in my rear-view mirror. He crossed the street too and jumped over the seawall, but he didn't look at the sun first. He had more important things to attend to.

I turned on my CD player and cranked up "Here Comes the Sun" by the Beatles.
