Garnish That View

Even if we cannot change the things that present themselves to us today… we can, certainly, change the experience of looking at them.



Whether our personal window on the world is that

of an elegant life,

or a humble one…

a confined and limited view,

or an old, tired, and weathered outlook…








We can enhance our experience of taking in life’s sights today…

by improving the setting through which we take it all in.








The voice of a dear friend…

a cup of our favorite beverage…

the music of a cherished melody in the background…

fresh flowers placed strategically where we have them framing our activities…






All are simple and available garnishes available to us for the enrichment of our view of all that lies beyond our window today.

Look through fresh and enhanced lenses…

We can do little to change circumstances…

We have complete control over how we perceive them.

I smile the smile of One who has responded to the prompting at the "perfect moment" of the Source of all "right words". I am humbled and gratified.
