Today wasn't our favorite day. It was one of those days where one thing after another came to try to punch us in the face. One mishap after another, mishaps and bad moods, and a good dose of discouragement crept in. It was one of those days when we were....collectively....just done!! And then we saw this sunset. I pulled over to the side of the road to try and capture it.
It reminded me that despite the little disappointments, despite all the things that can somehow go wrong....it is still in so many ways...a beautiful world. It held the promise that we will get through the rest of this day and tomorrow will be brighter. It reminded me to let go of the junk of life and concentrate on the true blessings of life....one of which is certainly being blessed enough to witness a sunset as glorious as this one!!
“But playing your music as loud as you want and coming home drunk aren't real life. Real life, it turns out, is diapers and lawnmowers, decks that need painting, a wife that needs to be listened to, kids that need to be taught right from wrong, a checkbook, an oil change, a sunset behind a mountain, laughter at a kitchen table, too much wine, a chipped tooth, and a screaming child.”
