The sun sets on another day…
As the sun was setting I walked down my drive and watch the light play across the leaves and disappear. It seems like darkness closes in so much faster now, but it doesn’t matter, it was beautiful anyway.
I get kind of stuck in life a lot, it just happens, life is all around us. What consistently surprises me is the wonderful people that aren’t always wonderful and the not so wonderful people that turned out to be far more wonderful. Kind of weird how that works isn’t it.
I always wonder how people feel. How do you feel when you are happy? And don’t just say happy. What defines happiness for you? What defines anger? What defines sadness? What defines utter elation? What defines how you feel?
For me it is a series of complexities based on a complex childhood and a complex life but built on a rule I set for myself some time ago: I would find a way to be positive every day. It works most of the time. I have been devastated before, i have felt defeated before, I have felt to the very depths of despair, but i have found a way out each time. Not because it was easy, but because at the core of who I was I would not give up. I’m driven by the idea that if you knock me down 100 times I will still get up the 101st and find a way to be better.
It’s an easy thing to say, and i know it doesn’t work for everybody, but it works for me and I hope it could work for you just to make your day even a little better. Enjoy your moment and enjoy every moment that you can.
So as the sun sets on another day, today was a good day because I need it to be a good day. I wanted it to be a good day, so i made it a good day. Maybe that’s the secret, just wanting to overcome and have a good day. Either way it is your choice and I hope you make the choice that is best for you, no matter what.
Sleep sweet, love life, and feel…
