The sun sets on another day…
I waiting for the sunset after a long day. I hoped for more, and got it, and as I sat in a parking lot, the beauty was all around me. I saw a car next to me stop and look at the world for a second, and still I watched the sky light up, and show the vibrant colors that I expected and maybe a little more.
When I was younger my friend and I laughed a lot and said, “time flies like an eagle, fruit flies like bananas” and laughed simply because it was silly. Now I look back and realize time does fly like an eagle and it soars higher and higher forever and passes on.
I had a lot of fun today and as I did I couldn’t help but giggle with laughter thinking about my grandchildren. I didn’t get to see them today but I thought about them simply because from day-to-day they continue to grow. From day-to-day their personalities develop. From day-to-day I am amazed at everything they do.
Of course I realize that time goes by and I have no choice but to watch time pass but as I think about my grandchildren I feel young again for a moment until I realize that well over 30 years ago I saw the same in my daughter who is their mother. Then I remembered holding my daughter in one hand after she was born, her tiny body giving me hope for the world.
There are lots of songs, poems, and a lot more, and all of them converge around this idea that children are our future. Children are passages to positivity. Children are portals to feeling young, and being young inside. As I look across my memories I can do nothing but be happy for the decisions I have made in spite of some of them not being all that hot.
Do you see children as a future? Do you feel the excitement when children are excited about life? Do you find the path that makes you happy and at the same time honors who you are? I think that’s what kids do.
So as the sun sets on another day, I hope your day is spectacular and that your night is even better. I hope you find a way to enjoy life, but mostly I hope you find a passage to your youth as you enjoy the moments of the day and somewhere in the middle I hope life is great to you, no matter what.
Sleep sweet, love life, and I believe…
