~:[CH9 - Day 40]:~ When the Sun Sets
It was strange, there was sun in Seattle in the winter. It meant a beautiful day where we got to venture out and enjoy the beauty of the city. From the morning tour, to Pike Place Market, the pier and the sculpture garden, we had sunshine and even a sunset. As I watched the students enjoy the view of the sunset, I couldn't help but think that soon, just like the day, the sun will set on this trip and their senior year. However, even when that happens, the memories of this trip will far outlast this moment. As we sat around eating dinner and even shopping at Walgreens, this group just wanted to chat together and be together and that told me these would be moments they would hold on to for a long time down the road. Life can be crazy and will have its ups and downs, but when you drop all the drama, you drop all the judgements and just enjoy what is offered to you, you get a day that carries on even when the light has faded. On a day where the sun shone brightly in the beautiful blue sky, the light of the day far outlasted sun and that is a day more beautiful than any other.
