Loving The Sunsets- Ladies Of Hive Community Contest #174

Hello Ladies!
Welcome to this week's contest. My post will be handling one of the interesting topics for the week;

1️⃣ Some of the most beautiful times of the day are sunrise and sunset. We want to know which is your favorite and why? Also, please add a photo you've taken of your favorite one so we can all share in the beauty of it!

Sunsets are my favorite
I won't even think twice. I'm sorry sunrise, I love you too😘😀

When you say you love something or that something is your favorite, you have to take the time to actually appreciate how much it means to you. Honestly, I don't think I take note of the sunrise so much like I do sunsets. In the morning I'm always on about preparing for work or whatever activity I have for the day. But, I get this magical sense of calm each time I'm back from work and I relax to observe and appreciate the beauty of the sunset. From the dramatic change in colors to the sun finally hiding behind the clouds, every moment during this time of the day brings me so much delight. It's like seeing your favorite movie and never wanting it to end and even if it does end, you can never get tired of seeing it again.

Asides helping me relax from the hustles and bustles of the day, watching the sunset serves as a moment of thinking and deep reflections. I get pulled away from reality and sometimes lost in my own thoughts as I watch the sun play out scenes in the sky. My sense of imagination is heightened at this time, giving me a chance to think about things that may only be real in thoughts and when the playtime's over and the sun goes to bed, I can't help but bring myself back to the present, grudgingly as it appears. That, not withstanding, at the end of it all I feel most grateful. Grateful for a time to rest my head, for the good time I can't wait to have again and for experiences that will shape the next day.

As the sunset appears, it marks the end of a day and the beginning of a new one in the literal sense. Significantly, it is a reminder that everything must come to an end sometime. The sad moments we have to push through with, the times when we feel like we can't take it no more, even the happiest moments that we cherish will sadly have to end sometime. It only leaves us with the hope of creating new moments of happiness and hoping that the bad times gets all the way better with the passing of time. As a sunset lover, I never wish that the beautiful scenes I enjoy during the night-time ever end. But, it has to. How am I going to see the next one if the present one doesn't end? I can't be pleased having just one sunset, I want to see what tomorrow's sunset is going to look like and even the next.

Sunset moments are not just times when the sun goes down and lets us sleep. It is a time to shift focus from our numerous cares in life and appreciate the beauty of nature and how it works to our benefit. It is a time to engage with our environment and take in the little things that makes us happy. Watching the sunsets and enjoying it's view is my daily ritual, one I can never get tired of. So, here's to the one thing that bring me so much peace and quiet.
