No matter how good or bad my day may have gone, nature always provided me with a time to stop and to reflect on what had happened … and to remind myself that the next day would bring yet another new beginning that could turn into anything I wanted it to be. Sunrises and sunsets are God’s way of saying, “Stop! It’s time to appreciate what you have!”
