Katelynn writes, "I was out in my field when I saw the sun go down and realized that when it rises once more it will be a brand new year. The array of colors made it a beautiful and fitting way to close out the year.
Although I've seen the end of quite a few years in my life, I still find it sort of fascinating how time can both feel as if it is standing still and flying by at once. In a way, we are all living in the present, future, and past - for every present moment was once the future and will one day be the past.
