Stop, look and listen

Looking throught it all
Sometimes it can feel like a wonderful whirlwind. So much to see, do, experience, learn. It’s easy to get over stimulated and miss things. I continue to learn to stop for a moment and really see. Stop and look a little closer, a little deeper, a little beyond. Look for those special vistas built into life for us to find. They’re there, oh, they’re there. But it’s up to us to stop and see them.

Today I’m using my eye to see a little further, a little deeper and a little beyond. Sometimes it’s not just my eyes to see, but my heart, my inner voice and self. It’s a good day.

Great photo!

This is one of the best things about gardening, it opens your eyes to so many wonderful things if you just take the time to see them.

oh ... i love the comment on the show about Adri bring all of the coffee grounds home, and the little mimic voice that says something about it being free.

Danger-Thank you! You are absolutely right about gardening opening your eyes. I'm totally with you.

Marie-Good eye about the light: it was a beautiful little nook at the Ladybird Johnson Wildflower Center and it would have been so easy to walk right by and not have seen this view. And good ear about hearing the "but it's free!" comment. You're good!

Syd-Hey! Thanks!
