The sun sets on another day…
After weeks of less than sunny days, actually after weeks of gloominess, hmm, no, after weeks of oppressive clouds, cold and snow, yeah that’s it. After weeks of oppressive clouds, cold and snow today the sun decided that it would dispel the darkness and let the light in on us all. Wow, that was tough.
Sometimes we think the world is just as bad as a cold cloudy winter. Each day grey to us with passion, happiness and life pulled away in favor of the mundane existence so many tend to embrace. Like the sun being held from us for weeks the world seems to beat us down. Bills, weird people, strange people, money issues, relationships, or sometimes relationsunks, and a host of problems that can only be described as life sucking.
We can overcome. We can find a way to see the light through the darkness and it is by just being positive as best we can, and finding fun in even the little things we do. There are people who take this to extremes and that’s not awful. The person who says “watch this” and the jet-ski launches into the air causing a less than pleasant outcome. The ski accident that ruins months and months as surgery is necessary. I have to say though, that maybe those people have it right, maybe taking a chance is more than worth the danger. Maybe a little potential bad time lets those people see the bed tin life. Those people are the ones imbued with a passion that just won’t die, a passion that will change the world as they say “watch this” and show someone what love is like, what life is like, as they define the very barriers of passion and all things similar. It is those people that go to the moon, those people that find their way to the bottom of the ocean, cure cancer, or find the ultimate depths of love in every moment of the day. Maybe those people have the template that risk and occasionally a bad day week or month is worth the limits they push and the feelings they feel. I think so.
So as the sun sets on another day, take a moment and look at the sunset posted and realize the sun struggled against all odds tonight and said “watch this”, think about all those people who are taking their chances, finding their dreams, loving life, doing fun things, opening candy stores, starting wellness clinics, starting a band, creating a comic, starting a movement against drugs, or just showing people how wonderful life can be, and maybe you too can find your passion, and make it a reality too.
Sleep sweet, love life, and hey, “watch this”…
