The sun sets on another day…
It was a stunning sunset as the rain fell. The clouds and trees were in harmony as just a small amount of sun peeked through, then sprayed color with a vengeance. I stared in amazement as I searched for a rainbow only to focus on what was there and just enjoy.
I’ve kind of come to the conclusion that happiness is what happens when you’re not paying attention. Tonight I could have enjoyed the fantastic sunset, but I was trying to find something else, in this case the rainbow. While I was doing that focused on everything that’s all the colors that were inside of the sunset and just relaxed into it. It’s not that I wasn’t looking for the sunset, it’s that I was trying to find something more when I could have been enjoying what I had.
You ever feel that way?
Do you ever get stuck so much looking for more that you don’t realize the positives that you are facing? Do you ever miss the beauty looking for the beauty? It’s a tough question.
For me, I’m going to try to squeeze the life out of every day that I have knowing that I don’t know how many more there will be. I am hopeful for my 29,000 sunsets and that is still a few years away, but I really want more. I want to take every moment out of life that I can and find the fantastic memories in each day. At least it seems like a good quest.
So as the sun sets on another day, make a wish and then see what you get. There might be something fantastic there and there might not but at least you’re going to have fun in the minute and I really think but as the days go on if you’re not trying too hard you’re going to find happiness all the time. Keep looking and making the world yours, no matter what.
Sleep sweet, love life, and keep enjoying it all…
