Possibilities

I have in the past found myself so busy that I could not see the details. The details of life are absolutely amazing! It seems that every where I turn, someone is offering me their time.
Time is so precious. It defies reason. Sometimes it seems we have none of it to give, and then we find ourselves just pausing...I have spent a lot of time since last summer just staring at trees, bushes, flowers. I have always worn glasses or contacts, but last summer I went to get a new prescription and the doctor really took his time with me. He kept me in temporary contacts, several pair for a few months while the fluid in my brain was reducing. He changed my prescription many times and just searched for perfection for me. I cannot thank this doctor enough. I felt as if I had never really seen before him. Suddenly, trees were not just forms in the distance. I could see limbs and leaves. I could see each individual blade of grass.
Yes, he took the time to help me to see, and now I take the time to really look at things.
I have found that people have the most expressive eyes. Before, I might have been able to tell you someone's eye color, but now I feel like I can see so much more. I can see the exhaustion, the joy, the love, compassion. I have seen so much kindness and love. I am continually amazed.
Taking the time to make eye contact, speak a full sentence, even make the committment to shake hands, I crave these things now. I want to see you. I want to say hello, to reach out to you. I want to tell you how beautiful and amazing the world is to me. I want to tell each of you how much I enjoy meeting you.
I want to tell you that appreciation seems to just grow. Each time I find something new that I enjoy, it seems to lead to more. I am filled with more and more. Life is about more. More time, more experiences, more joys and even more lessons. I value them all.
In just a moment, I can share a laugh or a smile. In that same moment, I can participate in the plague of negativity and dispair, or make a split second choice to find hope and solace.
In just a moment, I can tell one more person that I love them.
