What a beautiful report!
Morning rides are a inspirational time for myself. Its such a wonderful way to get the mind transitioned, the heart pumping, the weather report over the radio (me personally), the exposure to crisp fresh air, and a bit of a carefree happiness about the world and the coming day. I always have an attitude of "Bring it on!" in the morning. A morning ride just guarantees a good attitude and upbeat 'lift'. I'm always focused coming in to class/work/or plain home.
Hope the moment was very special for you! Its a treat that is good to reexperience, especially to break a cycle of monotony in your schedule.
