Never Grow Jaded

I always wonder, if all sunrises and sunsets were this magnificent, would we come to take them for granted?  

I was somewhere in Colorado one time, filling up my rental car. One of the workers walked by, emptying the trash or something, and I said, "How do you ever get used to this?".  Just standing there in a gas station, I could see a dozen snow-covered mountains stretched out along a valley where the road was headed.  It's one of the prettiest scene I've ever seen.  I can still see it, in my mind, almost 40 years later.

"Used to what?"  I waved at the mountains.  He shrugged his shoulders.  "They always look like that."

I hope I never grow jaded about a sunrise like this.  February 20, 2024 from the overlook at Monte Sano State Park in Huntsville, Alabama.
