What's great about being up at 4am?

What, you may ask, is there to be grateful for on a day in which you must arise at 4am? Well, first thing, when you walk outside at that time in the "morning" the NIGHT sky is beautiful, I could see more stars than usual and the moon was hanging low over Webb Hill. Then just before I pulled through Cedar City the sky was that beautiful light blue along the mountain line darkening through dark Levi blue, to Navy to deep purple then finally black night in the top of the sky. There is something to be said for sunrises!
I thoroughly enjoyed driving to Springville for a last minute meeting with my compadre Jill. It is always pleasant to talk with her and it is nice not to make the day trip on my own, especially when it begins so early.
