Hi steemit!
Allow me to tell you a story. It has always been a life goal of mine to see both the sunrise and sunset over the ocean in the same day. I do not believe this to be a greedy goal, especially now that I live in Hawaii. On our seventh anniversary, my girlfriend and I attempted to accomplish this. The plan was simple: drive to the East coast, watch the sunrise, drive home, take a nap, drive to the West coast, and watch the sunset.
Everything went smoothly in the morning, but it was the afternoon where things became problematic. The drive should have been a thirty to forty minute drive to the West coast from where my girlfriend and I live. We decided to give ourselves an hour and forty five minutes to get there. Unfortunately there were two accidents blocking traffic on the way. We made it to the beach parking lot with fifteen minutes to spare, but there was no available parking. We ended up stopping by the side of the road and settling for the sun setting over a grassy field.
Overall it was a wonderful day with some minor disappointment, but it gave me and my girlfriend a reason to try again in the future. It also gave us a fun memory.
The photo below is the sunset from that day.

Wow, for a frustrating situation about the traffic and parking, you were blessed with having captured a unique and beautiful picture of the sun setting. It is amazing that you were able to capture such a wonderful moment in nature! Just like nature, things happen and the results are memorable. Good job!!!
I believe that too, that everything happens for a reason. And yes, it did allow for a wonderful moment! Thank you for your comment!
