Sunsets in Southern California are beautiful. In college, I had a professor that told me the reason we have such beautiful sunsets here was because of the smog. Easy Professor Doom n’ Gloom. He was just jealous. Especially since I went to college in Chicago which could go 30 days during winter with the sun not making an appearance. Sunsets are beautiful. A peaceful time to contemplate the day.

Brings to mind one of my favorite quotes from Ralph Waldo Emerson, “Finish each day and be done with it. You have done what you could; some blunders and absurdities have crept in; forget them as soon as you can. Tomorrow is a new day; you shall begin it serenely and with too high a spirit to be encumbered with your old nonsense.”

Goodbye Sun! And here’s to hope in the new day.
