Today, I worked. As per usual. unfortunately, I was on drive-thru the entire day. I hate it with a fiery, burning passion. You don't get to see your customer's face, you can barely hear them, and they're always in a rush. Blah. Not fun, and very stressful. Hopefully I won't have to be there tomorrow. *fingers crossed*
Today was a rather gross day, weather wise. It has been cloudy and rainy most of the day, and the wind is fierce. Then, suddenly, the sky cleared partially this evening. It was beautiful. The clouds were moving by so quickly because of the wind, and the sun was reflecting off the bottom of them. the whole sky had a golden outline. My first instinct was to get out my phone an take a picture, but I decided not to. For my generation, sharing every aspect of your life with everyone is a pretty common. I mean, I have this blog, to share with all y'all. But I decided to keep this one beautiful moment to myself. Someone once said that we appreciate beauty so much because it is fleeting. Nowadays, nothing is fleeting. Everything is recorded, photographed, or tweeted about. Rather than rushing to take out my camera, I decided to just stand at the window, and watch the wind usher my golden sunset south.
So now I'm sitting here, on my couch, a candle lit, thinking about beauty, and life, and living. I'm not often on my own, and I miss it sometimes. I can hide in my room, but that doesn't make for a very fulfilling evening. But sitting here, just thinking, is wonderful. I've missed it. It's going to be a very good evening.
