Thought For the Day…

“It’s not what you look at that matter. It’s what you see.”   -Thoreau

I’m trying to learn the art of really paying attention to every moment.  Of being aware of the moments that go by at lightening speed.  People miss the majority of what goes on around them because we can’t possibly process it all.  But most of us even miss much of the rest because of distractions. 

I’m trying to lessen my distractions and really see things around me.  I’m going to start carrying my camera in my purse again to capture some of the everyday things I see.  I don’t want to miss it all.  I am amazed by what others see and create, and I want that vision back.  I don’t want to be too distracted not to see all that I can possibly process in my life.  I am going to try to share some of the visual inspirations that come my way in future posts…stay tuned!
