Thank you Sun.

We all know the Sun is a star, a star that centers our solar system. The sun is the force that sustains life on our planet Earth. When you start to introspect and think about the origins of life the first thing that comes to mind is, how did life begin? There are still many unsolved mysteries about this but one thing is for sure, and that is the presence of our Sun. The Sun is the ultimate driving force for all forms of life on this planet and the life of the planet its self. From everything to the size, location and the chemical composition of the sun is perfect, any other combination and we would not be here today and I would not be sitting here writing this.

            My inspiration for this post came from the thought of being thankful and grateful. I wanted to talk about something that everyone can be grateful for and the first that came to my mind was the Sun. What I appreciate most about the Sun is its mere presence. Think about it, on days when the sun is shining you feel genuinely happy, and on days when it’s cloudy and gloomy we feel a little down. Sure the rain is enjoyable but there is just something about the sun; feeling its warmth on your face is one of the most rejuvenating feelings in the world.

            If you can’t think of anything else to be grateful for, be grateful for the Sun. Life goes on, we live each day trying to complete our daily tasks, it may be going to school, going to work or anything else that we are doing to survive, but one thing that is constant in our lifetime is the Sun. Each day the Sun will rise and it will set no matter what we do in between. Thank you to our Sun for making it possible for us to exist, without you we would not be here.

            Here are a few pictures that I have taken throughout these past few years. Of course these pictures will not do justice to its beauty; witnessing the sunrise and sunset in person is incomparable.
