The sunset of a year gone by

Normally, we do not pay much attention to sunsets unless we stop our hurried life for one second and then we stand in awe..... In awe of the colors, the vibrancy, the movement, the brightness but we forget that after the sunset comes the darkness of night.... Nights which can be still and others showering with the bright light of the stars so many times forgranted or covered in the lights of the city...... but then do we remember the sunrise? The birth of a new day? The softness of its touch in our eyes, the warmth in our skin?
Today is the sunset of a year gone by, a year filled with blessings, bad episodes, troubles, miracles, opportunities taken and opportunities gone by, of loves gained and loves lost, of births and deaths, of laughter and proudly hidden tears of sadness, of adventures and routines, of prayers said and miracles waiting to happen. A year filled with growth after a painful prunning, of rebirth and renewed sense of being. A year for which my heart is filled with gratitude.
As I sit here, in front of my desk, watching the spectacular sunset through my window, the mountains shimmer in the distance with the leftover snow of days ago, the birds migrating to new horizons, the gentle light of the sun piercing through the clouds and I think of the gift of the sunrise tomorrow as I start a brand new year.
