Careful

You know the people you got to be careful with?

It's not the ones who mess with you or play mind games, 
who lie and talk behind your back. 
Sure you need to be wary of them, but they aren't the most dangerous, no.

The people you really gotta watch out for, 
they are the ones who change your life from the moment they walk into it. 

The ones who make every moment better just by being there. 

The special ones - who make the most mundane things seem extraordinary.

The people who make you laugh ...

Because when it's over,

when they have to get up and leave,

nothing is ever the same again ...

There's Something About a Sunrise

There's something very powerful about a sunrise.

Perhaps its the stillness of a new morning, the dawn of a new day, full of new possibilities and opportunities.

Perhaps its the sparkling of the earth as the sunlight gradually cascades along the landscape, gently giving life to everything it touches.

Perhaps its the chirping of birds, or the light morning breeze.

Or perhaps, its that moment when you are standing outside on your balcony, breathing in the fresh morning air, freshly brewed cup of coffee in hand, staring out at the sky slowly turning from red to a clear blue, and you realise how much there is to be thankful for.

Another day, another turned page - a blend of jubilee and melancholy in that new morning. There's a part of you that yearns for the days gone by. But the sight of the sun as it awakens the world is awe inspiring. Its almost as if yesterday's mistakes have been wiped clean, and you're getting a chance to start afresh.

I'm not an optimist by nature. Far from it actually. But between sunrises, spring songs, and clear skies, its hard to avoid it on days like this.
