The sun sets on another day…
The water washes onto the shore, bringing with it the cool evening breeze that both warms the heart and chills the body. A swan swims by, oblivious to all but itself, preening in the colors that bath the sunset.
As I walked the bike path tonight at the edge of the lake I lost track of time and considered all the moments that are so sublime we often miss them. I sat on a rocker and looked out upon the water, smiled at the moment and took a few pictures to share. As I did I enjoyed the moments and remembered all the best times in my life, the easy sunsets, a walk with a friend, a moment in a park on a river, a laugh in a movie, a smile that was endless., or a series of episodes of NCIS with someone fun. These are never lost and should not be lost with anyone as those moments are the precious seconds that give us the power to face difficult times, difficult situations, and difficult people.
So as the sun sets on another day, close your eyes in the breeze for a moment, and remember all the wonderful things that made you special, and all the times that make you special, and enjoy the moment as I take a long walk alone…
Sleep sweet, love life, and live every moment, no matter how little you think it means it may be precious someday…
