Good Morning -

.

Well, we went on another bike ride. This one was 15 miles. We went through corners of Tempe, Chandler and Mesa.

.

To me, the most notable thing about this ride was that it started at 5:30 am because we wanted to avoid the heat. It's been a long time since I've been able to wake myself up this early (besides when I'm camping) and I forgot how amazing mornings are.

In the morning, the peace and quiet is overwhelming, and the mood is optimistic. I love mornings; hopefully I will get up earlier to enjoy them again. I often used to wake up in the mornings and hear in my mind words like this: "the morning wind has something important to tell you." I always thought those words were from a Chinese Proverb or something like that, but I just googled it and couldn't find the quote.

No matter what the source was, it always helped me get out of bed...

...Yeah, I think I should start to listen to the morning again.

Here are some pics of our ride.
