The sun sets on another day…
A simple sunset with complex endings came down upon us all. It was beautiful, but understated, just like life can be. The faded hues turned to golds, and the sky became dark, then more than dark.
You know, no one thinks they need help until they do. No one thinks that they need anyone else, until they do. And sometimes it’s just nice to have someone lift you up for no reason. Sometimes that’s all it takes.
It’s also not a bad thing to try to help someone just because. There are tons of different groups that work their tails off to try to show how great they are at helping, even when they’re not. Maybe the best way to help people is to sometimes help them without letting them know. Maybe the best way to help people is to not look for the recognition but instead enjoy the satisfaction of the moment. Being a good person doesn’t require that anyone knows.
I find myself struggling with this from time to time as I watch people crave attention and try to be a helper to all. At the same time I try to help people when I can, if i can, and somewhere in the middle. It may not make sense to Sam, but sometimes you just have to make someone else have a good day, without turning it into a big thing.
How about you? Do you look for the amazing wonderfulness of the moment when you are recognized for what you do? Do you do for others without regard? It’s a good question to ask.
So as the sun sets on another day, I hope you enjoy your evening. I hope you realize how spectacular you are. And I hope you find a way to help others and yourself, no matter what.
Sleep sweet, love life, and be there…
