Skip Gaskill is back for a simple, but thought-provoking challenge. Take it away Skip:
When was the last time you woke up early to watch a sunrise?
I mean woke up just to watch a sunrise (and not to go to work or school).
Never?! Try it some time. Few things are as beautiful or as inspiring as a new day sunrise.
Do your heart, mind & soul a favor.
