Each day I wake to see if the sunrise will be visible.  I remind myself on the cloudy days that even if I can't see it, the sun is still rising. (Never mind the fact that the sun is actually not moving but we are!) The point is, I have that faith.  I have faith in things I cannot see. I have faith that the earth will keep rotating on its axis and it will appear as though the sun is rising over the horizon.

On the days when I can see it, I do.  It makes it easy for me to get up in the morning.  My morning routine is not routine since it is ruled by something I cannot control...the sunrise.  And there's the part about getting to work on time.  Sometimes, write first then see the sunrise and then take a shower.  Sometimes, see the sunrise, shower and then write.  Sometimes the sunrise interrupts the writing and the shower has to be very quick!  I like it this way.  I love to be a witness to the unique beginning of each day and I don't mind making the adjustments.  Actually, who wants every day to be the same?
