Sunrise Earth

Last night, in conversation with Jeff, I said "my baby" for the first time. One step closer to owning this. It is weird how a planned pregnancy can be so difficult to get used to. I blame feminism. haha. I have spent so little time in my life thinking about the actual reality that as the girl, I am the one to carry this passenger.

Are you sick of hearing me complain yet? I sure am. I am becoming a bit of a drag, I think.

We have this HD cable now that we have a new big HDTV. On one of the Discovery channels, there is this show called Sunrise Earth. Every morning, there is a different nature scene and sunrise. It is insanely calming. So much better than watching that clown Katie Couric ramble on about stupid things. This morning on Sunrise Earth, I watched a sunrise over a field of cows. Cows are the most lovely creatures in the world, besides octopi. The grass was so green and the cows were tan and I felt like a farm girl. After the sun came up, the cows began to eat the green green so gingerly. Not like a hungry dog, but just so calmly. I have never seen anything eat so calmly. I thought about how cows are vegitarians and about how we reward them for this by eating them. I thought about India where the cows are more respected and about other countries, I think maybe India where sometimes a monkey will steal your sandwich because they run around with people. I wish that squirrels were so bold.

I too am in love with Sunrise Earth (which is how I got to your site). It centers me more than anything I've ever watched. I used to hate getting up early since I don't have to take my children to school until 9am. But now I get up at 5am with my husband and we watch Sunrise Earth as soon as we get up (we have an HD Tivo and have a season pass). Makes me forget about the hustle and bustle of the day and makes me feel as though time has gone still. Even if it's just for an hour.

Many Blessings,
