Sunset Thinking


Sunset Thinking


Do you ever watch the sunset
And just sit and think about things
 Just you and the sky and darkness
 Giving your thoughts some wings
 Perhaps you’re got some troubles
 And don’t know what to do
 Or you just plain need to get away
 To spend a little time with you
 Sunset beauty makes you feel as though
 Your life has meaning after all
 To see a sight so extraordinary
 Makes you feel capable, strong and tall
 It’s funny how flashes of color
 Like a sunset or sunrise can inspire
 It can calm your inner self a bit
 It’s a scene you can never tire
The serenity gives you a chance
 To put things in perspective
 Life can be overwhelming at times
 And a sunrise can be reflective
 So when the sky lights up next time
 Let your gaze do some drinking
 Soak up and the amazing sights
 And do some sunset thinking!

I love sunsets. But more than that i love the nights with the full moon. so nice to sit on the steps and howl at the moon. Neighbors finally got used to it hehehe

Well, I keep my howling to a minimum haha
But yeah, when it's a beautiful night, I love to go outside and just stare up at the stars.

Orion is my favorite to look at. It is hard to find a decent evening/night here any more. The mist from the oceam comes in and then that is that. The best to see the sky is over 50 miles to the East of me out in the desert area in Imperial Valley. Too far to drive at todays gas prices and do not like traveling out there by myself.

I can still only pick out the dippers. Too many stars to concentrate looking for anything else lol
I'm lucky where I'm far enough away from Lake Huron/Georgian Bay that they aren't an issue at all. Except in the winter where lake-effect snow is another issue haha

But I hear you on the gas price thing. Makes it tough to find a few minutes of peace.

love sunsets
especially when i'm able to visit a girlfriend
she lives in amish country about 9 miles away from my front door
in other words...in the country...not a bzillion other lights blocking out the stars
the first time i visited her place, i got a crink in my neck from looking at all the beauties i'm seldom able to see

Is what I missed the most when I lived in Toronto, just being outside and seeing the stars.
Which was another thing I liked when I visited my friend in August .. it was all wide open sky where she moved to. Could have stayed out there for hours except we were afraid we wouldn't hear the bear sneak up on us lol
