We remember one of the first words we learned to read in school – “LOOK.” Why is it that after we’ve learned to read the word, we do less and less actual looking?

Spend some time today looking at the world around you. LOOK with your eyes, your brain, your heart. Find pleasure in the beauty that surrounds you. Then – if you don’t see enough beauty on a daily basis – figure out ways to add beauty to your life. Hang an art print (or art postcard) on your bulletin board. Buy yourself some flowers for the house or office. Add a colorful pillow or two to a room that seems tired.

LOOK.
Notice the blue skies and the butterflies.
Celebrate with a little dance – throw your hands up and move to the music.
