Sunrise after a long time

After a long long time I witnessed a sunrise. When I say "a long-long time" it means first time in my memory. This too had happened because I had one of very strict commitments. Even I was surprised by my determination. I used to undermine myself and assumed that I can't make to a real good morning. This sunrise was best I have seen, not because of its rareness to me but to the beautiful thought that entered in my mind. Let me explain with more details.
I woke up at around 6 ‘o'clock, I had an appointment at 7, so I got to rush. Getting off the bed I went directly to wash-basin (which is outside) to brush my teeth. I was roaming while brushing like a typical lazy just managing to not to fall. It was then I noticed source of life rising slowly above horizon far-far away. Just a few moments back, whole sky was lightened but the source still nowhere in existence. I thought what a neanderthal would have thought seeing this strange thing above his head. He must have concluded it to be some kind of god, or perhaps might not have paid any attention to it and continued with his food hunt. By this time whole sun was in the out with circumference touching the horizon. Suddenly a feeling of gladness ran through my nerves making me delighted. I felt like I am looking at some wonderful festival celebration.
I enquired to myself; what exactly am I looking at, which made me feel so. My conscious mind replied that its a star situated at just the right distance from earth to make life a possibility, isn't it well known, it remains in the sky for some 12 hours. Then I realized it was a celebration of hydrogen and helium atoms going around, for some thousands of centuries. Toothpaste froth in my mouth was drying and I decided to wash it. When I returned, sun was well above and had all its might. By now I was feeling very fresh, and ready to take up any challenge. I took a look at the watch and continued with daily rituals.
