Life of Pol

I guess I try to always be thankful.  But this year, I feel especially so. On the eve of Thanksgiving, my mind is racing with so many things I'm thankful for. I'm thankful for my wonderful husband. I'm thankful for the last twenty-two years he shared with me. I'm thankful we have such a great dog in Buster. I'm thankful for the fact that I have just over a year left at my day job until I retire, we move to Colorado, and I will be a full-time writer. But while we're still here in Austin . . .

I've always had a thing for sunrises and sunsets. The colors and the displays are incredible. It's amazing what nature can do, and it's always different.  But I think, if I had to choose between them which I liked better, it would have to be sunrises.  Sunrises are symbolic to me as the start of something new. A new day, new adventures, new challenges. It's a new beginning.  Perhaps that's the way life is, there are sunsets and sunrises, the endings and beginnings of happy and sad events.  I strive everyday to make my life full of sunrises.
