Do you ever find yourself going through life on auto-pilot, not really noticing or appreciating what is around you? Driving mindlessly to work, dreading the day. Chilling out in the evening, or working the “second shift” – all those chores screaming to be done. Oblivious to your surroundings.
Difficult circumstances can prevent us from seeing beauty too. I wrote a post about this on Michele Cushatt’s blog. (Check out her site and her book Undone.) We get caught up in focusing on what we have lost, and don’t see what blessings we have.

All the while only a few feet away is a big, beautiful world. One that we so easily miss.
