Deep thought

Deep in thought today while doing the daily grind I was thinking how amazing it is as we grow into new perspectives.  There are so many versions of perspective to see.  It's like glasses.. I was at a lecture a few years back and the person giving the lecture said that we each wear a new pair of glasses/ lenses given each new experience we live through, tragic or joyous.  Those glasses change the way we look at life and our behavior to how we act in life..  Our hearts may soften to others tradgies, we may humble ourselves to seek furthur enlightenment when we know ours is lacking, we find usefulness to new things or old things, and that's what I am getting at..  So today my thoughts turned to my new perspective on some things I have (this may be deeper than a mere pot but this is what I thought).  It was a old pot.  It's all-clad so its still in mean gleam cooking condition but usually I might think, oh its time for a new pot, its outdated style or fineese bores me kind of attitude.  I used to be so incapable of old things or things that were becoming old or damaged.  Through the eyes of others, the way they have lived and how they have chosen to savor or enjoy those things old or wherever they may come from made my eyes open.  I still love a new something or other and don't get me wrong I have always appreciated things from the past and value treasures of nostalgia but now I can appreciate my things and the life they have given me.  I appreciate.  I am grateful and I am blessed to own this discovery within me.

My baby had a little surgery yesterday.. SO sad to see her go through things that I cannot alleviate or control but I am grateful to be reminded that life is precious and beautiful when you are thankful for recognizing the good.

She is totally drugged right here.. kind of cute but still makes me tear up.  It made it an easier transition for her going into the operating room.

I love my little Vivian.
