Begining and end

The winter sunsets are very spectacular here and yet the days can start off misty and cold. Much like life I would think.

 Sometimes we start out with a dim prospect or outlook and slowly, as time passes, things look brighter.

 They say things improve with time and age but I wonder if this is really the case or is it just that our perspective changes?

 Is it our experiences in life which sets things in a broader context and helps us to see over the horizon and into the light?
