As I watch the golden orb of the sun sinking into the earth I realize my life too is coming to an end. Maybe tomorrow, maybe twenty years from now but each day brings me closer to that day and I realize how important each day is.
I realize how important it is to cherish each person in your life and to reach for deeper and more meaningful relationships. Friends become special. Family members become more loved.
As I watch this day come to an end, I realize the old me is ending and the new me is just beginning.
