Tea and Sunrise on Mount Marcy

It takes serious willpower and a good dose of distraction to proceed with hectic morning routines when the view in today’s featured photo unfolds outside one’s window. Despite life’s constant distractions, I lack the serious willpower required to ignore Mother Nature’s morning efforts. I rationalize, surely it is worth the time it takes to sip a cup of tea and appreciate the beauty that surrounds me in the Adirondacks. Like others who appreciate the Adirondack Lifestyle, I am a virtuoso in the art of rationalization.
