“The question is not what you look at, but what you see.”
~Henry David Thoreau
It’s like someone went through my soul with a wrecking ball and busted out a wall to free some dormant emotions. I’ve been seeing things differently and looking at others with eyes that aren’t so much my own, at least not what my own used to be, and yet they are.
I know I’m going in circles right now like a cat chasing their own tail and you’re just wondering, “When are they going to realize what they’re doing?” And you know what? I have absolutely no idea. Have I been looking at the same things? Yes. But I’m seeing with more color, I’m looking deeper, I’m feeling more. I think that sometimes with change, which in itself is never easy to naturally accept because there is always an innate reaction to fight it, but when you begin to embrace it that’s when you see differently. So I may be looking at the same things, but seeing more. And if change is the catalyst, that proverbial cat tail that has me spinning around in circles… deep, colorful, exciting circles… then BRING IT.
And also? Brayden, with those sweet baby blues, stop playing WITH MY HEART.

How do you tell him no? Are those his daddy’s eyes… that would make it even harder.
Here is to a new perspective and spinning around until you are dizzy and laughing.

What eyes…you can drown in them. I really enjoyed your wedding photos and video in your previous post. Congratulations on reaching your seventh anniversary and best wishes for many more to come.

I love your words. You are so right. Change can makes us see things differently, and if we embrace it those new eyes can serve us better, bigger, brighter!
Will remember your words today as I see the same old things but hopefully with new eyes.
Beautiful boy! 🙂

What a great post! And your words are so profound.
One of my goals in life for better living is to see more, to understand more deeply, and not just to tolerate but to accept more truly.

His big blue eyes just capture you in! I love that!
Hope you had a great weekend. I am so ready for the kids and hubby to go back to school/work. I have so much to do this week and can’t get anything done when they are home…ugh!
Happy Day! 🙂

Adorable picture and great post. It is so true, and I agree that when you surrender to the change that it can open up so much. What beauty we miss when we are closed off and fighting…Glad you are open, awake, and seeing!
