The sun sets on another day…
The skies were dark for sunset, but the light tried to peak. In the end it was a subtle shimmer that gave way to a yearning for more. Perhaps tomorrow there will be a sunset we can see, but I appreciate tonight anyway.
It is amazing to consider how many days roll by.
Do we notice? This is important.
There are times that you may feel like days just keep repeating and rolling by but if you pay attention days never truly just roll by. Every day is a unique gift. Every day is another moment towards amazement. Every day offers hope.
Hope is not sometimes a good word. After all if you have a box of hope perhaps you have nothing. Perhaps though if you take a moment to look at what’s in the box you have the ability to change the world. Perhaps every fantastic moment can offer the ability to know more, to learn more, and to be more.
As the sun sets today I think about all the possibilities that have passed. I think about all of the good and all of the bad and how each day can open up another moment. I think about the decisions I’ve made both good and bad and the paths they have drawn me down. I may not know everything, but i know something. The biggest something i could know. That something is that I will never know everything and that every day is an opportunistic journey to make my life better or worse depending on my decision.
There are many people who will not understand. There are many people who will feel sure they are going down the right path even as the toilet swirls to the bottom. There are many people who are so sure of themselves that all they can be sure of is that they have made decisions. I see life as a journey and every moment before me a part of that journey. Life is meant to be lived and I will push that envelope and find a path to enjoy myself or at least to learn.
So as the sun sets on another day, make a wish, dream a dream, find your path that may not be what it seems. Hold a hand, hug someone tight, and fight your way through day and night. Your life is worth it and I believe in you, no matter what.
Sleep sweet, love life, and enjoy the ride…
