"When you stop seeing beauty, you start growing old"U2. Summer Rain.
To remind myself to notice the beauty around me, this is the question I am asking myself as I go through the day today. It takes me back in the moment when my thoughts are running away with me, and makes me realize where I DO find beauty. Which is not quite where I think I will find it. It's always the little things.
Why? Because if I don't I will drive myself MAD projecting into the future with lots of scary essay deadlines and piles of books to read, understand, and commit to memory. Notes to write and rewrite. VERY scary. So noticing the beauty is a way to quiet the mind and get back to a ? 'viable' working mind state. Ah there is NO escape from the programme.. When you try to go get yourself a LIFE, you end up thrown back onto the basics, in order to make good the new life you are persuing. Oh well.
Whatever. I like the question as there is beauty EVERYWHERE if I look for it.
Right well I'm off to plough through the new pile of books (that cost me £140) Ouch! ANOTHER small pile of stuff to read...(!!!)
Jeez, how does anybody DO this stuff???
Kudos to all you guys who have done this stuff before! My hat is off to you!
Have a good Wednesday everyone!

as life gets bigger, I see and feel the importance of getting back to basics.
Thank God we have simplicity which is always a blessing, the choice to stop and take a look around at what we have got right here and now and like in your picture, see, REALLY see the sunshine, autumn leaves, nature, shadows... all free stuff, gifts.
now get back to those books you, there are NO days off!:)
very true! thanks for pointing that out again. must remember that next time i start stressing!
