Well-chosen words add richness to my life… when I slow down and let them in.
I have a daily quote book that I love, but I’ll confess I’ve been remiss. Too busy to slow down and take a peek. I have favorites throughout – obvious when I see how the book is beginning to age with its faded cover and dog-eared pages. A gift from a dear one years ago.
Isn’t it remarkable how a well-timed dose of insight can feel sparkling and new? Even when you’ve read it a zillion times before.
Relevance is like that, I think. Fresh because it hits…the just-right spot.
That’s how I felt this morning with this perspective-boosting thought from my favorite observer of the natural world, Thoreau:
“The question is not what you look at, but what you see.”
-Henry David Thoreau
Over coffee a bit ago, the hubs and I enjoyed watching a brand-new chipmunk find her footing as she danced across our deck.
“What are these?” she seemed to say as she stumbled over her tiny paws.
Paws-ing 😉 long enough to peer at us, peering at her, I’m not sure who smiled more broadly. Me? The hubs? Or the tiny fluffball testing her wheels.
Yep. Just a little chippy, fresh and frolicking. That’s what we gazed upon. But what we saw?
Life in motion. Joyous. Simple. Fantastic.
Happy Friday – with love – from all three of us.
Vicki 😉
