Sunrise in Ruma, Illinois

Where ya been, Sun? Stewards rise at 5:30 on these weekends. Stewards are charged with making sure the candidates are awake and getting vertical … and start the coffee. I rolled out of bed promptly at 5:30, but my fellow-steward and new friend Jim had already been up for at least a half-hour. He says he can't help it; years of getting up early in the construction industry and he just can't turn off the internal alarm.

Something I read the day I posted this image: “Learning to be joyful even when things don’t go your way is one of the ongoing invitations of the spiritual life.” —Matthew Kelly
