Love Evening

There's something very magical about evenings, a colleague had once said. He would love taking walks as the sun set casting an orange-pink glow around the cityscape. At the time he'd made this statement, I'd thought yeah, right...can anyone love evenings? The depressing time of the day, I'd thought. This soon changed, of course, like many things in my life.

There was a time when evenings meant parties or dinners with friends, going off home from work and many more pleasant things than staying in a drab, cold office and attending useless calls or tapping away at your ol' workstation. Now, evenings mean the end of a busy working day and many accomplishments, taking up a book or chatting with my husband, dinner at the table with the family and a quiet time before bed either reading my book-of-the-week or watching Scrubs on the LCD screen. Sleep, of course, is the best part...especially when one's dog tired.

This evening's the same, the daylight staying on beyond 7 pm. It's a time to reflect and ponder. To relax those tensed muscles, to stop thinking, to just sit back and watch the world go by...

...and surf the Net. :)
