Sitting on the couch with my laptop I just glanced out the window. The love seat is blocking part of my vision but my eye wanders to lower left hand corner of the window and even though its just a part of the bigger picture I can see the start of a white fence and green grass down the road. I linger over the view for a moment. It isn't much but it is beautiful and it moves something within me.
It has been a long time sense I have let my eyes and my ears linger over the things that I find so breathtaking. When you let negativity rule your life slowly it takes a toll.
I may wish that I was a farmer and that I didnt have to work at a 40 hour pace sitting at a desk talking with people across the country, I may wish that I had my own house rather then renting. I may wish that I had a baby and a ring on my finger but life is too short to concentrate on the things that you dont have. I have learned that the hard way and I am determined to look foward to the future and work towards my goals but I will not let the day go by without finding some sort of beauty in it. Whether it be the fact that my clean kitchen floor is drying, or the celtic music I have playing on pandora is making my heart smile. It may be so simple as glancing at a white fence down the road but it makes me happy.
Glad you're back :)
