"Look at everything as though you are seeing it either for the first or the last time, then your time on earth will be filled with glory." ~ Betty Smith

Seeing this way keeps us present and appreciative, alert, and aware. Let's try to see this way today.

Of course, we won't in every moment.

But at least for a few moments, now and then, look at something from the perspective of seeing it fresh, as if you never saw it before, or imagine not seeing it ever again. Please don't go to a place of fear with that. Let this approach lead you to profound love and gratitude for objects, persons, creatures, plants, places, and experiences.

With appreciation,
Charlene
