Don't Wait...

"One day", you said to me, "I saw the sunset forty-four times!"
And a little later you added:
"You know - one loves the sunset, when one is so sad..."

(Riverton, Utah)
Were you so sad, then?", I asked, "on the day of the forty-four sunsets?"

(Fish Lake, Utah) 
But the little prince made no reply.

(Phoenix, Arizona)
Sunsets do have a calming effect when we are sad.  I've wondered for years what made the little prince so sad that he'd sit through forty-four sunsets (albeit his planet is only the size of a house).

For me and Lizzie...we love sunsets when we are happy and in love too.  Why wait to be sad to enjoy a sunset?
