Sunsets

When you’re driving home from work, or sitting on your back porch in the evening, how do you feel? As you watch the sky fade from blue to pink to orange to red then dark blue, do you sit there and gauge how successful the day has been, or revel in the beauty?

Neither one is supposed to be a correct answer as to how you should feel. Please, don’t let me tell you that one is better than the other. But just think for a moment, what is your general attitude to this beautiful daily occurrence?

Now fast forward a several decades, and your time is coming to an end. You’ve reached your very own sunset. How do you feel? Do you think back on everything that you’ve accomplished, or do you still marvel at the latest birth in the new family, the beginning of a new life that will far outlast your own?

Again, neither is right or wrong. But you can’t deny that there is a connection.
