Project for the day - to see, not seek.

Today's little job-ette (which I'm setting myself) is this. 

I'm going to try and look forward to, and appreciate, the beauty and meaning that's in simple, everyday life situations.

I know - because it's blindingly obvious when I can be bothered to realise it - that this world is extraordinary. The problem is, I've a tendency to take it for granted. The miracle of life (and that I'm alive), of the sea, the skies, the beauty of a sunset of flowers and trees -  all these surround me on a daily basis, but I have my head so far up my own rearend that I often walk right by them as if they contained no mystery or magic.

If I want to see something amazing, today I'll start looking right where I am. From this moment on (just for today....) I'm going to practice seeing rather than searching. It is all right here. It always was - this dimbo just needs to recognize it.
