Pure Beauty and a Moral Dilemma

Now, I know what has been in the back of all of your minds. You have been wondering what happened to all the sunrise posts, haven't you? I knew it. It has been too long, I agree. Not being one to disappoint, I have returned to praise the beauty of our sunrise this morning.

So without further ado............................
I know I must say this every time, but I think this might be the most beautiful one I have ever seen. I literally gasped out loud when I opened the blinds this morning. Such a romantic, aren't I?

Please forgive the reflection of my lamp in the photo. Alas, I am a poor photographer. The true talent went to my friend Joni. Maybe when I am rich I can hire her to be my personal blog photographer? (eh, Joni? What do you think?) Until that fabulous day, however, we shall have to make do.

I also have this photo from the day before. It isn't a sunrise, but it does have a day moon. That's something. I hear they are good luck. That hearsay is based off of a cheesy teen movie though, so.......yeah.


Now that we have all oohed and awed over the stunning sunrises, let me hit you with my moral dilemma. I gave up drinking Starbucks coffee as my Lenten resolution. For those of you who don't know, Lent is supposed to be a way for Christians to prepare for Easter. People generally resolve to be a better person or they give up something for the span of forty days. I gave up Starbucks and, full disclosure, have already failed once. So, my dilemma is that while technically I gave up Starbucks in particular, should that also extend to prepared coffee beverages from other places? Because if it does, we might be in a spot of trouble.
It was just simply too good to resist. So, can you say loophole?!

I hope you have all successfully survived this Monday. Remember, it's all downhill from here. Shoot, the weekend will be here before we know it!
