Yesterday the morning sky was a misty orange and yellow as the sun rose. Color lit the high clouds in all directions. The air was crisp but soon it would warm. As I walked for my daily exercise I was glad I had only a short-sleeve shirt on.

At the coffee shop I happened to see a friend. We visited and as soon as he was gone, another friend showed up. It turned into a long visit at the coffee shop.

As the Sun moved higher and the colors changed, I noticed how my world also changed its hue. At the same time, the temperature rose and I began to feel more comfortable. I walked home contemplating what I would write that morning. Perhaps I would describe the morning colors, but I did not.

Today, the sky was clear and the color that was so impressive yesterday was noticeably absent. I wondered why there was so much difference. I enjoyed my morning walk. As I returned home I began to write. The wonder of the difference between one morning and the next triggered my desire to describe what I saw yesterday.

I await the gifts this day has yet to bestow.
