Behind the Sunset - The Dawn of a New Day
Have you ever thought about how a photograph of a sunset could be mistaken for a sunrise if you do not know where the photographer was standing when he or she took the picture? I love the thought that a sunset, and the ending of a day, becomes the dawning of a new day for another in a different part of the world. Whether it is an end or a beginning solely depends on where you are standing.
Now, if you focus on the sunset and your life as it was, you will miss the coming sunrise and the opportunities of life as it could be. Focusing too much on the problems of your past as opposed to the potential of your future will prevent you from turning in the right direction. Not only will you miss new opportunities, but your back will be turned away on your new day as it’s light bursts forth. You may still feel its warmth on your back, but honestly, wouldn’t it be better to be facing and embracing the dawn with anticipation to see all it has to offer you? The new day brings with it new opportunity and a chance to spread your wings and soar.
In Others’ Words:
When true simplicity is gained
To bow and to bend we shan’t be ashamed,
To turn, turn will be our delight
‘Till by turning, turning we come round right.
~ Joseph Brackett ~

Tuesday evenings I usually try to make a dent in the mountain of paperwork on my desk at home. But before I tackle it I like to check to see what you’ve added to your Blog. I love the way your articles bring me back to what is important. Sometimes I get distracted so much by them that it wipes out any chance of me making a dent in this paper mountain. And that is just AWESOME!!!!
I love you, Sis.
Keep up the good work that you do.
