Over this last week, I realized that no matter how many times I watch the sunset, it will always feel like I am watching it for the first time. I saw the sunset earlier this week at the beach and then last night in the city. I had been visiting my grandparents at Breezypoint Beach on Thursday, and we left the just before the sunset. On the way home we drove along the beach and I was sad that we were not sitting on the beach when the sun was going down. I feel like every time the sun goes down, it makes me remember how the simple things in life are often the most beautiful and enjoyable.
Being that I am a pretty sensitive person (haha), it also makes me reflect on things that have happened during the week. In some ways this week has been very enjoyable. Spending time with friends and getting to do things as simple as strolling around, laying in the grass and looking at the sky and picking out the shapes the clouds make, or just sitting outside on a nice summer day with my mom and reading a book have been highlights of this week. It was nice to spend my last week before I begin working at MetLife in relaxation. Yesterday when I was standing on the Brooklyn Bridge watching the sun go down, I looked out at the city and realized starting on Monday I will be working in The Big Apple full time! Hard to believe how fast time went. I know that come Monday I will be a part of the hustle and bustle of the city. So, standing on the bridge looking out at "the city that never sleeps" in silence was pleasant.
It feel like I do not usually take the time to go outside my house to appreciate the simple beauties of life, like the sunsetting. I hope that even though I am going to get caught up in work and going out with my friends, that I can find more time to remember to step outside and admire the simple splendors that God has created.
The pictures I have uploaded are some of my favorite sunsets. The first one is taken from my phone on the Brooklyn Bridge after spending time on Pier 17, which was a very enjoyable time. The second is also from my phone and is from Liberty State Park after a day with my close friends when I was a sophomore... That is still one of my favorite memories at SPC. The third is one I took in Rome, Italy right before the sun began to set. That is one of my favorite pictures from that trip. The last two are both from a family vacation I had at Cape May. Nothing gets better than sitting on the beach and watching the sun go down! The last picture, I must note is one that I am very proud of!
Very nice. Great pictures!
