See more sunsets. It’s something I’ve decided I want to do.
.
There was a time, back in my twenties, when I’d catch a sunset almost every day. I worked hard and days were busy, but free time was truly free. And, I’d almost always jog after work. The sunsets on those post-work runs grounded me.
.
No matter how stressful my day was. Or how many “no’s” I got in sales, or how behind I felt in anything, the sunset brought me back to earth.
.
Sunsets were free. They were constant. They were something I could count on (except, perhaps, for on a rainy day). They were something I looked forward to.
.
But, then life happened. Busy-ness happened. Teeny tiny amazing (best thing ever) kids who take up lots of time happened. And, somehow, here I am: a person who almost never sees the sunset.
.
But that changed tonight. Tonight, on a Monday…on a regular old weekday, the Wesley family loaded up in the car, and we went to watch the sunset. Because it’s something I really love. And it happens every day. And I didn’t want to miss it.
.
For you, maybe it’s not sunsets. Maybe it’s gardening, or going for a run, or baking the perfect pie. But, there’s something. That thing that used to ground you when you were younger. That thing that you did consistently back when you had time. Could you work it back in this week? Because if you don’t have time for it today, on a Monday, after work. When will you? Let’s stop waiting for “some day” to do the things we love. Let’s do them today. ❤️ Especially if we can do them with the ones who we love most.
