The sun sets on another day…
The misty rain closed in on me as I drove through the shifting of shades of grey. Still it was a beautiful sunset somewhere and I could do nothing but enjoy the coming of the night.
Sometimes life seems like it’s a blur. It all goes so fast and before you know it. A day is gone, a week, a month, a year, and then more. As it passes we often forget how precious every moment is and how important it is to enjoy all the moments we have. When I started writing in 29,000 sunsets it was specifically for the purpose of reminding myself, my children, and my readers that each day is worth living. Planning our days for weeks months or years in the future could not guarantee anything. We define ourselves daily and in doing so define our lives daily as well.
It is with this in mind that I enjoyed the sunset even though it was dim, i enjoyed the drive even though it was boring karma I enjoyed the moments not because they were the best moments in my life but because they were the only moments in my life right now. I couldn’t Daydream about tomorrow or get lost in yesterday’s even though I thought about the past and considered the future. Instead I laughed and sang and was my goofy self all along the way.
To me that is what’s most important. I hope it’s the same for you and I hope that you can define yourself and have the best day possible each and every day because you deserve it. You deserve it.
So as the sun sets on another day, take a deep breath and enjoy all the moments you can. Make a mundane moment magical. Be more than you thought you could be and realize you were there already. I’ll keep believing in you, no matter what.
Sleep sweet, love life, and home again…
