It was looking to be a perfect spring evening here in the Valley of the Sun ... I grabbed my book, a tall cool drink and headed out into my backyard. I arranged my lounge chair so I could watch the sun set and settled in, reading and admiring the sun as it dipped lower in the sky. Of course, I'm in the middle of a James Patterson novel, always a gripping tale! There were a few scattered clouds across the horizon, and the sun bounced pinks and purples across the evening sky as the sun set. My story became a page turner as the hero was being sought after by the mob; I munched a slice of pizza all at the same time.
I am always in awe of the sunsets here, the colors are always so intense. And sadly, we don't often take moments out of our busy lives to appreciate the wonders of nature, the beautiful moments in life that have nothing to do with our choices, they just happen.
And when we happen to catch one, its beautiful.
If you haven't watched a sunset in a long while, maybe its time you got out there and did it. Life is too short, too precious to waste time on things that might not have meaning in a day, a week, or a month.
