I received a fortune cookie today that said "keep seeing the beauty in simple things..." The "beauty" of that message is that recently I have been working on suspending judgment as I look at the world around me.
My experience has been that the absence of assumptions or attributions creates a blank canvas in my mind for truth and beauty to emerge from whatever I'm observing. Tonight it was a man walking his two dogs, a beautiful sunset, and the twinkle in a dear friend's eyes. I can't wait to see what tomorrow brings!

I have a question...did you become this positive by practice? Or are you just a positive person by nature? For my own growth and progress....I'm hoping for the first :)
much love,

Definately by practice. Suspending mental judgments is a challenge. They are so embedded in how we view the world. Being a counselor has helped, because just as when you're massaging someone, I never judge a client. Lately, I have been practicing this same mindset in everyday life.
Thanks for asking beauty. k
