09-18-2013 look up and look around

To focus on TODAY, pay attention to the wonderful delights of the moment - that is the purpose of this blog.  Delighting in the little things tends to come easy for me these days, but the look up and pay attention is the hard part.  Yes I concede that technology does make it harder to "look up and look around" both physically and with our mind and soul as well.   

The intention of this blog 365 TODAYS was to be more habitual with the "look up and look around" and pay attention each TODAY.   This was yesterday's attempt to "look up and look around" in the midst of the "head down get it done" of my week.

Me at my desk:

Isn't it a pretty place to work, with the windows and the courtyard outside view right from my desk.   Yep TWO (2) pictures!  (As I stopped to "look up" and take pictures those I love most were on my mind and I sent a few of them my picture hoping they would see my love for them in my smile.)

It took me a long time to develop the habit delighting in the little things (of fighting to find, to see, and to intentionally enjoy the goodness and beauty in everyday little moments).
It will take a while to develop the habit of "looking up and looking around" in the midst of the "rush, hurry, get it done, and get it done right".

So I renew my efforts at one picture (or two or three HA!HA!HA!) and one phrase per day (or several paragraphs *more laughter*).
 ... that is all ... now I am off and into my "TODAY".
