Check what lens you are looking through?
Mark Nepo drove 300 miles to see his ninety-four-year-old grandmother.
He was her firstborn grandson and she was very happy to see him.
As they sat together in silence on the edge of the bed, he noticed that the only window in the room hadn’t been cleaned in almost a year.
When Mark commented on this, his grandmother chuckled and said, ‘Got a dirty eye, you see a dirty world.’

Your post reminded me of this. – You get more of what you pay attention to.
Yes exactly! π Thank you Ali. π
Wow, this is a powerful story (and I’m making sure my windows are clean right now :-)). This is the beauty of life, something so simple that it is often overlooked, is actually so significant… Thank you, Karen, you’re something special.
Iβm pretty sure your lens is very clear. Thank you Randall ππ»
