chasing after the sun

the other day, i decided to pack my two little girls in the car while dad was at work, to chase after the sun. i drove a couple of miles outside town to a small rural countryside to capture the magic of the setting sun. i parked by the roadside opposite a vast stretch of farm land, and waited for the sun to set behind the big hill, and took one shot after the other, until the sun was no longer visible on the horizon, and the sky was painted a crimson red. the kids were marvellous...they behaved quiet well, and were patient enough, although after a while, they kept saying, "mommy, you're so dugay". that was my cue, we drove back to town while the heavens started to get dark. as a treat, i took them to "maca's" (mcdonald's) to eat chicken nuggets, fries and apple pies and to play in the playground. then we went home, and everyone was happy.

sometimes in life, we too, have to go out of our comfort zone to chase after something we really want for ourselves. be it a dream or an opportunity for success or a chance at love or a shot at happiness. sometimes, it doesn't just come to us...sometimes, we too, have to be prepared to chase it...only then, can we be truly content and happy. (although sometimes too, the one thing we've been chasing for doesn't necessarily bring us the happiness we have always hoped for...but it is always worth a try... or you'll regret never knowing).
