When did you last look somewhere you've always looked with a 'fresh pair of eyes'?
Hmmmm, what's in here?.....
Sometimes the greatest treasures are right under our noses.... we forget we have them until we re-focus, and take time to appreciate their goodness and the value they truly gift to us.
What about those books you haven't pulled out for ages? Or that cupboard you haven't peeked in for months (maybe years!)..... What's hiding in there?
How about re-reading some old letters? Or, getting out those old photo albums (remember those), and pouring over the pictures whilst enjoying a yummy treat and some great coffee!
Maybe those jigsaw puzzles you haven't touched for ages are something you could do together with one of your children? Or, maybe those paints you shoved to the back of a shelf ages ago could be salvaged and used for some fun with the kids too?
How about finding a new place in the garden to sit and admire the wonderful riches of nature. Heck..... even those pot plants you haven't paid much atttention to for a while are still growing and thriving (phew, time to give them some water)..... how gorgeous are they!?
Somtetimes we worry too much about the big things in life, when it's the little things we have around us (but have forgotten about or pushed to the back of our mind), that can bring us such simple and pure pleasure.
What is it you've 'forgotten about' that you can really 'look' at and appreciate today?
