Sunsets of Gili Air

It's so interesting being in a place, and even more than just the place, a state of mind, in which the most exciting - the most invigorating - part of my day is going to the beach to watch the sunset.  Everyday for the past however many days I've been in Gili Air now (I think it's 9?  I keep extending my stay everyday because I love it so much), I have waited for the perfect moment where I walk down the sandy road from Captain Coconuts Hostel and find myself on the beach, watching the most beautiful sunsets I've ever seen.  The skies flooding with pastel colors - pale blues, pale pinks, striking purples.  

Back at home, there are so many days where I feel I don't have even a moment to pause for five minutes to stop and be calm.  Reflecting back now though, I can only imagine during these days if I would only take a few minutes to stop and reflect, to relax and take care of myself, how much better the outcomes of everything else would be.  Less mistakes would be made, less anxiety, better health.

When in doubt, remember that you can never watch too many sunsets.
