The sun sets on another day…
Sunset was a beautiful display of colors and amazing hues. I gasped for a moment as a cloud slid across the sun, and showed colors and darkness all at once. Beauty is everywhere.
I got caught up in a few things today and questioned myself. I find I do that often. I wish everyone would take the time to do so as well. From the nobody’s to those who are asking us to believe far more than we can easily understand.
I was listening to a motivational book on the way to work that most people look at and applaud. Who am I to question it, right? Well, in the middle several items were said that made sense, but a premise was made that was outside of the box, that we should step aside quite often for our own peace.
In that moment I was reminded of the “Coward of the County” and a few easy words. “I promised you dad not to do the things you’ve done, I walk away from trouble when I can…” that and the words that followed haunted me for but a moment until I thought it through and conceded, not all motivational books work for everyone. Not every solution fits a similar problem, and sometimes we have to overcome it all, and make a decision that works for us.
Think about it. You know your life better than anyone. Anything anyone says, including me, is a suggestion, but not a rule for you. Make good decisions and live by a moral code that works, and there you will find solutions in near everything.
So as the sun sets on another day, I think today is a good day, and I will finish this book soon and start another, I think fiction this time. Why? Because of course the world need variety, no matter what.
Sleep sweet, love life, and be you first…
