It's all about the joy of it...today using our sight.

Hm-mm using our sight to bring more joy into our life. A very good topic indeed.

If you are gifted with the sense of sight it is a wonderful thing.  Something we should not take for granted.  So what do you spend your time looking at?  Do you see things that bring you joy or things that for the most part irate the hell out of you?

Okay... maybe it is not that extreme for you but a lot of people complain that they don't like what they see when they look around their lives.  So what do you see?  Are you happy with it?  If so...how can you bring more of that into your life?

And if not, what can you change?

What you look at has a great deal to do with the level of joy you have in your life.  Do you watch or read things that are filled with violence or are simply negative?  Think that doesn't matter?  Think again.  Spend a bit of time doing just that.  Then spent some time looking at a movie that is uplifting and reading a book that inspires you.  See how you feel after each experience.  My bet is the difference in how you feel will be pretty dramatic.  Then it's about choice.  What do you choose to "see".  What do you choose to expose yourself to.

And it's your life so I say make active choices in what you see.  If you don't like what you are seeing...change your scenery. 

I personally get great delight and joy when I see certain people.  Last night we had a mini family reunion...with one of my nieces and her three children and my parents who were gone for the winter.  It was simply a delight to watch her children just beamed with joy when they saw my parents.  It was a sight to see. :)

I want more of that in my life. What about you?  What sights bring you joy? What are you going to do to increase that in your life?

Tomorrow...our sense of smell :)

First, I love the subject matter. Our senses are our most important faculties and the ones that we take the most for granted. I love to hear the sound of my nephew's voice and touching and petting my dog. And these are just a few of the senses I use everyday. Thank you for making more aware and I hope that I will not have to lose any of them in order to appreciate them more.

Yes, yes, yes. This is why I don't read the paper or watch the news. They are slanted toward fear and paranoia and I avoid that as much as possible. Our surroundings not only reflect who we are, they influence who we are and how we feel. Get rid of the ugly and replace it with beauty. If you can only afford one beautiful thing, have that one beautiful thing.
