I relaxed, read a book and enjoyed watching some little girls in the water. \u00a0It was my moment to re-energize and just simply BE.\u00a0After the beach, I was invited to a friends house for dinner, and on the way I stopped to take some pictures of the sunset.<\/p>\n<p>The good thing was that my son was driving on the way to my friends house and I kept taking pictures of the beautiful sunset in different spots from the sun roof of my car. The more pictures I took, the more vivid the colors became. I was entranced and was feeling a God moment of experiencing the beauty of nature as it presented itself to me.<\/p>\n<p>I didn&#8217;t care that my son thought that I was a lunatic, telling him to stop on side streets or stretching myself on op of the sun roof to catch a glimpse of the radiant colors of the sunset. So here is my slide show of those moments which transported me to a realm of peace and appreciation for the beauty that life offers.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_755\"
