Of Sunsets and Solitude

Things haven't been going quite my way lately.  There have been many ups and downs over the past few weeks for me, some of which I've shared here.  Most of the time I've been thinking 'stop this ride, I want to get off!'

But right now, I'm okay.

I decided to take a walk this evening, not really thinking much of it, but that walk has changed my attitude dramatically.  It was a simple thing really.  I just walked around the neighbourhood, nowhere in particular, then sat for a while, and watched the sun set.  There was a special sort of calm out there this evening, and with it came a certain clarity for me.  I listened to my music, and watched all the quiet, tiny things going on around me, and not one worry or uncertainty came into my head.  I was perfectly content in the moment, and it was a very refreshing thing.  It felt almost as if I was the only person out in this world, and I really had no problem with it at all.  

I would really love to have someone to share these special quiet moments with.  I hope I won't have to wait long, but I think I'm okay with being alone right now.  In all likelihood, it probably won't last, and I'll be back to my worrying ways before long, but right now, I'm good, and I'm very glad I decided to go for a walk.
I think I'm going to be okay.
