Sunset is Coming

“The quality, not the longevity, of one’s life is what is important.” – Martin Luther King, Jr.

Every stage of our lives comes to an end. To me it seems like just yesterday I moved to Charlotte, but in reality, it was over 11 years ago. So much has happened in those 11 years. From my kids entering school to now I am only a few months away from having two in high school. So much can change in just a few years. It’s not about how much time has passed, but how we use that time is what matters. I see time flying by in my life. I notice it when I look at how quickly my kids have grown up. One day they are half my size, and the next day they are taller than me. I saw how quickly time was flying by. I decided to change schools last year. I wanted to spend more quality time with them and be more invested at home. The move was not only good for me personally, but professionally as well. I approached the switch knowing it would improve my life. I would have more time at home. In the end, I gained benefits on both sides. My goal in the next few years is to invest in my family’s time as best as possible.

I took these photos last December while taking a cruise over Christmas break. One of my goals is to try and capture at least one sunset and one sunrise while on the cruise. I captured this sunset on the first night we were there. I took this with my GoPro 10 in between videos I was making of it.
