Sunset

Posted by Amanda at 6/18/2012
The owner of the home in St. John said we should watch the sunset at the place for a beautiful experience...so we made sure to leave the beach in time to watch the sun set over St. Thomas.

We were a tad bit early...It amuses me (many things amuse me) that I get impatient on watching the sunset. As the sun slowly moves down....it then projects itself downwards so quickly that when I blink it is right above the horizon. Savor every minute, because things will go by rather quickly than you would expect.

When I stepped out ready to go for dinner, instead of the usually oh you look pretty from the boyfriend, he complemented me by telling me that I look like a flower. Such a sweet and rare observation from the bf.

Back to the topic of sunsets...Sometimes I just need to stop and enjoy life... the sun sets everyday, and why is it that I have to wait for a vacation to finally enjoy the beautiful sight? Hmm..

Wait...isn't it harmful to stare at the sun?




excuse my hair...it was still damp in this picture

Such a good point. Stopping to look at a sunset should be part of our every day more often. I don't do it enough either. I love your orange dress- what a fun back on it!

Wow I'm so jealous you're in St. John and got to watch the sunset in St. Thomas. We recently went on a cruise to St. Thomas and I just love it. We were going to do a day tour in St. John but the travel was just too long so we skipped it and stayed in St. Thomas which was beautiful, I hear St. John, Trunk bay is even more beautiful and can't wait to go back. Anyway if you are a lobster person, there is a place in St. Thomas called Cuzzins. Definitely a place to check out!

Btw - I got totally side tracked, I love your orange dress with the pink heels! It's beautiful on you! xo

Haha, well don't stare at the sun too long! ;)
Very good analogy too btw. How true it is. Moments will speed by far too fast, so every minute should be valued.
Gorgeous dresses you're wearing here! Haha, he made an excellent observation. You look like a tropical flower!
Those pink shoes are just so pretty ♥
