The sun sets on another day…
In a maddening twist of fate the sunset today was one of the most beautiful in a long time. Clouds hung everywhere and spatterings of light opened up across the sky spraying color across infinite canvases that just made the world seem a little better.
I was staring outside today and saw a seagull fly by. Given that we’re pretty close to the water this is not something that is surprising, but it’s not something we see very often. Seagulls tend to avoid the woods and we are deep in the woods.
Things happen though and sometimes everything acts differently than what we plan, what we expect, and how we want. Sometimes we just have to adapt to those things around us, and roll with the punches. I hope that sounds easy, but I realize it may not be.
For me though, I am reminded that gulls fly free, and that sometimes the world is a pretty good place, even when it is unexpected. Maybe the world is a little better because it is unexpected.
So as the sun sets on another day, never a gull flies out to see, but carries my spirit wild and free. A good quote to be sure that I cannot trace anymore. Still, I will watch for the gulls and enjoy the random wonderful moments of the day. Take the random with you, take chances when no one else will, and enjoy life as it should be enjoyed, no matter what.
Sleep sweet, love life, and be free…
