Golden Dawn

I love the Dawn.

It's my all time favourite part of the day (and lucky me with my two I get to enjoy it most days of the week, Saturday included!). My bias actually has nothing to do with me being named after it (that would be the never mentioned, very old fashioned part of my name!!).

It's because I just love to be alive and awake and breathing in that moment. I just love that clean, fresh, newly minted smell of the world as night stops and the sun starts to come up. There's something so tantalising about that damp, dewy hint of earth in the cool morning air, that makes you rejoice to be alive.

All early morning's are good but my very favourite is the half hour or so just as the sun breaks the horizon and says "Hello" to the world, that's the time when magic is in the air and you feel excited because you know that today is brand new, barely begun and bound to be full of special things!
