Don;t Notice the Garbage

Some days it all just seems to come together. You smile at your beloved and the sun shines! You look out doors and the wind blows. You check your computer and someone new connects, you look at your home and the colours and designs just fill your heart.

Joy!

Every day can be joy. The deal is we just don't see it. We are so blind sometimes. All around is love and joy. All around instead I have been seeing the garbage and plethora of someones years of mess; not mine, but the neighbour's messy, unattended to life. Blinded by their mess, I lost my focus. Not a good idea actually.

Today I woke up with my blinders off. What I like is that I am in charge. I can wear blinders and only see my neighbour's mess, or I can take off the blinders and see the sunshine and feel the wind blow.

This is not just about neighbours, of course. It's about life. My partner is the same partner each day. Sometimes I see smiles, sometimes I feel frowns. Your partner deserves for you to see the whole picture. Life is SO not one dimensional. People are complicated. Forget what you think you see(I think I see a dirty mess next door). And notice what else might be hanging around.

Listen, and screen out what you make up. You are the centre of your universe. But you have to forget that sometimes and tune into the world around you. Life can be filled with joy when you screen out the messy neighbour's garbage and notice your partner's smile. Land! My metaphors get weird sometimes. You know what I mean. Take charge and choose to live in joy.

Words of wisdom for the day. Nancy Ross (:
