Morning


It's a lovely morning here in Seattle. And I can't remember the last time the sun came up in a perfectly clear blue sky. 

Sunrise 5:11 AM. 
Sunset 9:10 PM.

Loss and Gain
by Henry Wasdworth Longfellow

When I compare
What I have lost with what I have gained,
What I have missed with what attained,
Little do I find room for pride.

I am aware
How many days have been idly spent;
How like an arrow the good intent
Has fallen short or been turned aside.

But who shall dare
To measure loss and gain in this wise?
Defeat may be victory in disguise;
The lowest ebb is the turn of the tide.
