It is always important to remember to stop and enjoy the view even when you are doing an after school run around with the kids. There is always something beautiful to see.

Have an awesome day!

I am not a morning person so I hardly ever see the sunrise except when I was still working in the bush and some field work events needed us to be up before the sun rose. Those were few and far between. In KwaZulu-Natal the sun rises early in the peak of summer it will be at 4 am. The social life is in the morning and coffee shops open at 6 am.

Moving to the Western Cape province is more for night owls and late sleepers. During the winter months, I watch the sunrise every morning just before 8 am. Yes, it is very late and in the summer the sun only sets at 9 or later so maybe I was born to live here.

So are you a morning person or a night owl?
