The sun sets on another day…
Sunset was spectacular, but it was not until the last moment that I saw that a cloud shelf was on the horizon creating a sunset mirror. Things like this are fun, because it is hard to see unless your lens can focus that far.
I am currently in the process of moving a significant number of movies to digital. I think I mentioned that already, oops. as I have been doing so I have found a lot of old video that has a lot of meaning but that I hadn’t watched in a significant time. Most recently I watched my father’s funeral as it was turned into digital media. I was very young, or at least much younger and it opened up a discussion for later.
you see we spend far too much time thinking about the end when we should be thinking about right now and all the good we had. My father’s wish was that he would have no memorial or funeral and instead everybody should go out for pizza. I understand that a lot more now.
We should be celebrating our life every day. If someone leaves we should be some life and not getting lost in the fact that they are gone. I say leaves because it doesn’t matter whether they leave your life or die the grief is very similar. We need to learn to hold on to our good times and remember people for the spectacular moments they gave us.
I know this can sometimes be difficult. I have embraced this philosophy since I was very young but sometimes it has hurt and oftentimes it was very difficult for me to see the good in the loss. I can only hope that you know that loss is expected and inevitable. Our happiness is our choice. Hold on to everything good in your life and make it a daily goal to be better.
So as the sun sets on another day, I hope you find the good times every day and when you do have some ice cream too, unless you’re lactose intolerant. If you are, find something fun to enjoy and make today your best day ever, no matter what.
Sleep sweet, love life, and pizza sounds good…
