No ocean for the sun to drop into, setting the world ablaze. No mountain range nor lighthouse. So often, I would look at a beautiful sunset, sigh heavily, and say to myself "too bad it's not over the ocean" or something similar. In doing so, I've been cheating myself out of truly enjoying that moment. Watching the sky turn brilliant colors, the sun setting the damp pavement on fire last evening, I decided no more. This is the world I live in and it offers it's own beauty. Why try to pretend it's something it's not. While more and more of the natural settings are becoming shopping centers, I must learn to accept and see beyond or be miserable. I choose to see, live and experience the moment and not be miserable.

I enjoy the sunrise on my way to work in the morning as it greets the traffic. I'd rather see that than just boring sky.
