So, it’s easy to sit and enjoy a sunset. Some people look for the ‘Green Flash’ on the ocean horizon, others watch the sky turn a different color, or enjoy the last few minutes of orange glow bouncing off the clouds. There are so many reasons to sit and enjoy a sunset wherever you are. But, when was the last time you truly stopped and just took it all in?
A pure moment in life is rare. Believe it or not, they’re always there. We’re just often too busy to stop and realize they’re happening. Recently, I was watching a sunset. Surrounded by my wife, family and great friends, we were all enjoying the perfect weather on a beach house patio overlooking the ocean. Our phones and cameras were out, we were comparing pictures of our sunset perspectives and having a great time. Then, something hit me and made me stop taking photos.
Everything was great. There was no job to worry about, no bills to pay, no reason to let anything else matter except taking in this moment. To feel that free is something we all wish for, and as much as there are times we won’t get to experience that feeling, there are times that we can. And we should! We need to, we damn well deserve it. So, why not let everything go and just enjoy the moment?
The next time you’re feeling excited, happy, loved, just stop and really enjoy it. Stop thinking about what’s going to happen tomorrow, or what happened yesterday. Look at where you are, what you’re doing, who you’re with, and just love it. Love every second of it.
I’ve been fortunate to have many of these moments in my life, and they are what carry me forward. I wish this feeling upon everyone I know, I wish that everyone can have that one pure moment, even if it’s not often. We need more positive feeling in this life, and I’ll take mine anywhere I can get them. Thank you for being here 🙂
Oh, and if I’m going to watch a sunset, I’m doing to do it in style!
