John Denver sang those words. He was not talking about sunrises but it is a good adage anyway.

Each day awakens differently, some to sparkling brightness that illicit “oooohs” and “ahhs” as if watching fireworks. Others are more sedate in nature — cloudless days that offer a simple glow that grows from dark to light. This was one of those days.

Whether spectacularly colorful or a simple glow, each day’s beginning is still beautiful.
