May 29

A good way to help a good day be a little better is to try finding something to admire in every view that your eyes take in. At least for the first hour or so but longer or even all day would be better. I try this and find that the looking does slow one down enough to smell the flowers and to soak in a little of the glory.

Ha, even a snake has qualities to be admired if you take the time to really look at it. To some this is not a feasible option unless the snake is behind a glass enclosure or lying on the ground with it's head cut off. Most have really interesting patterns over their bodies in case you've never taken the time to look.

I know there are some questions forming in your minds like this one. In my pursuit of finding something to admire in every view how do I avoid looking into a mirror as I prepare for the day? The answer is I don't. I simply pick up the electric shaver with it's trim lines and put it to my face before I look into the mirror. Tho I don't like to shave, this neat object does a fine job and I do admire the results obtained by its use.

Yeah, during my shower I pretty much keep my eyes closed. Having washed it for over 60 years I'm familiar enough to clean the whole thing with my eyes shut and towel off too.

Over a day's time, for a variety of reasons, there are so many many seen things that can be admired. Tho beauty might top the list, it may only serve to slow you enough that you can see beyond it to the really admirable qualities. It's just too bad most of us are too busy or too preoccupied to take a few seconds to appreciate the little gifts that our eyes present.

There is nothing that I know more than very little about but if simple patter was worth cash money and I could find a buyer we might better be able to afford our few trips to town, don't you know.

Beauty is all about us, but how many are blind! They look at the wonder of this earth and seem to see nothing. -Pau (Pablo) Casals
