"Sometimes a slight change in where we stand can dramatically change how we see things."   

                                                                                          ~ Melody Beattie      

I love how this is true both literally and symbolically.

For a literal example, consider the Red Rock formations of Sedona, Arizona. Many of them are named according to how they look when viewed from certain vantage points, such as Merry-Go-Round, Snoopy, and God's Chair. 

We used to live near what is called "Coffee Pot Rock." From that area, the formation does resemble an old style percolator. But, when seen from various spots along hiking trails, that same rock can look like a chicken or just a rock with no meaningful shape.

May we be willing to see things differently by making changes in how and where we stand on positions and life situations, especially if we find ourselves seeing ourselves and others as wrong, bad, or just not good enough.

Today, let's take a stand that allows us to see beauty.

With love,
Charlene
