The sun sets on another day…
The sun sets on another day…
I’m always astounded by sunset simply because that is a beauty that never ends. Well at least in my mind it never ends. For a few brief moments the skies open up and give us a light show that is beyond compare and each time I soak it in and enjoy every moment.
It’s Christmas. There are so many people that will line up and tell me all the good things that they bought for Christmas or received for Christmas but this Christmas I may have received a little more.
This Christmas I got to sit down with my grandson and granddaughter and enjoy the moment passing through Christmas. Although I’m relatively certain that my granddaughter was oblivious to everything going on except for the fact that she was being fed or rocked or treated well by Papa, it was still amazing to see a twinkle in my grandson’s eye as he was the center of attention for a few short minutes and treated like a king.
I’m not sure he got everything out of it either as I saw in him something I saw in myself when I was his age, only two, he was not so thrilled with the clothes. That being said he did get some things that were very memorable, and he played and laughed and giggled and that giggle was worth the moment. That twinkle in his eye brought a twinkle to my eye and perhaps a little more.
There is a song that says that children are our future, but I would like to believe that children are also are present and they are a present to us. Every moment we can spend with them it’s an amazing moment in time and every lesson we can share is something they will cherish far beyond our existence. I hope you had similar experiences and enjoyed Christmas.
So as the sun sets on another day, it was a good day, and I can find no better positivity than the moments I found today. It is in those moments that the world can be a better place because after all our future is the children. Help them all grow and be a good person, no matter what.
Sleep sweet, love life, and twinkle twinkle…
