“It was sunsets that taught me that beauty sometimes only
last for a couple of moments, and it was sunrises that showed me that all it
takes is patience to experience it all over again.”
-A.J. Lawless
Every fall and winter morning on my commute to work, I am
greeted by the most incredible sunrises. The mountain views combined with the
glow of a new day has always made my heart happy and my soul at peace. The
sunrise reminds me that this new day is a gift and ought not to be taken for
granted.
Lately I have struggled with this realization as I have been pushed
and tested to my limits. My heart has been broken with the recent loss of my Aunt so
close to the one year anniversary of my Mom’s passing, coupled with drama and
toxicity from my extended family. Some days I feel like my emotions cannot take
any more distress, and then I remember that sunrise; that sunrise that almost
always takes my breath away. It is then that I remember that I can no longer be
discouraged and allow inferiorities and inadequacies based on the opinion of
others to consume me, for the universe saw fit to give me a new day, a new
sunrise, a chance to start fresh and begin again.
