SUNRISE, SUNSET

wake up in the morning and tell yourself that life is beautiful and it is a new day and although it is a cliche remember that the potential for new things to happen is always around us so take advantage of it, tell someone you think their hair looks nice or that their shoes are cute or that you like their laugh or just smile and let your eyes do the talking. it is good to simply wake up and smell the coffee and know with full confidence that the day you are about to experience has never been experienced by anyone, and has not been planned, and cannot be predicted or determined - at least not wholly and completely. so, who knows, perhaps you will meet someone today who will change your life, or read a poem that makes you feel more than you've ever felt before, or simply find yourself lost for a second or two in the most peaceful state you've ever been in. all that is possible because life is not over at all, it has just begun.
