A New Beginning

It was so lovely. I cannot remember the last time I felt so content at 6 in the morning. Tired and careworn but at peace. Despite the many little things going awry ever so often, I know what is truly important to me as a person and though I don't know how Im going to get there, I know I will get there.
I've stayed awake till 6 am countless times in the past two years but never stepped onto the balcony to enjoy a Sunrise. Today I got home in time to do just that- made myself a huge mug of hot, sweet, milky tea and sat down on the stairs outside enjoying the cool breeze in the twilight. There was a beautiful glow on the horizon and it told me just where to look. I watched through the handle of the mug as the Sun came up and didn't blink even as my eyes watered; fortunately the breeze picked up and a branch swayed gracefully up and down, partially obscuring my view.
Maybe it stems from the fact that yesterday was one of those absolutely crazy yet satisfying days in terms of work but it coincides with the realization that happiness lies within me. As long as I am happy with who I am and sure of what I'm doing, I dont need approval from the people around me. Im done with being a conformist. What needs to be done shall be done.

Good thought. I am following a similar principle.
