Isn't funny something as simple as a sunrise or a sunset makes you feel different? We sat at the edge of the desert with some snacks and a cocktail and literally watched the sun set behind the cactus and desert wildlife and I felt all my cares and woes melt away like the setting sun. It's amazing how changing your perspective can help change your mind.
Why don't we appreciate these little things in our own everyday life? Why don't we take the time to watch the sunset with a loved one or to take the time to stop and breath? Why do we have to physically leave our own space, life, surroundings to get that feeling?
I don't know if its the fact that I could wear less clothes, open toe shoes or that I have someone around to chat with, eat with, just hang out with (now if she would just spoon with me I'd be SUPER happy!) and it makes me happy....really really happy. Plus the sun sure doesn't hurt.
The guest room I'm staying in overlooks the backyard/pool and I opened my curtains last night and slept with the window wide open and when I woke up I laid there and watched the sunrise and it was like someone was painting the sky before my eyes. It was so beautiful and peaceful and I really felt like for the first time in a long, long time I can step back and get some perspective on my own life. It's nice to not have to deal with work issues, school stuff or even my own home issues....just being out of my normal surroundings helps a person clear their brain.
Let's hope after a few more days here I can really get some of the clutter out of my head and make room for some new stuff!!
I am hoping to get some more things checked off my list too while I'm here. Life really is good.
