5 Am Purple

Just love the vivid imagery, Phil. 5:00 a.m. is prime time for me these days, fortunately or unfortunately. Best wishes, Gershon

Purple is one of my favorite colors. I like the way your thoughts linger here. Waking to meet the day, yet- feeling as though sleep still remains. :) I think we have all been through this. ~ Brandy

Thanks Brandy, you're right, we all have purple days where we turn on autopilot and the rest is history. Glad you liked it. Namaste.
