Day 41: Sunset

They say that the best things in life are free.

I don't always take the time to appreciate the little things in life. I would like to give the excuse that I simply don't have the time to do it, but that would be a lie... I simply don't make the time. I think that we're all guilty of taking those little things for granted and, unfortunately, it sometimes takes something big or life changing to make us realize that. I don't want that to be me.

So, today, I wanted to take the time to appreciate a sunset for the first time. My entire life, I've never sat to just watch the sun set. After a quick dinner, I grabbed Fifty Shades of Grey, jumped in my car, and headed to JB Williams Park. I found a grassy area, sat, and read for 30 minutes before the sun began to set. During those few minutes, I reflected on what a good day it was considering it was a Monday: I laughed at the thought of conversations I had all day with my amazing co-worker/therapist, Jenn; smiled in anticipation of my plans for the remaining 19 days; and took delight in knowing that my BFF comes home from vacation this week. While I'm sure that I didn't have the best view of the sunset in town, I'm almost certain that I won the award for most appreciative.
