I went to a talk last week given by a woman from the Audubon Society. She was teaching us about different species of birds in our area, both the locals and those migrating through.
This morning as I looked out the window I saw several types of birds in the trees that I’d never noticed before — in truth because I was never focused on noticing them.
I always knew there were birds in the trees, but I never really paid attention unless it was a large bird like a hawk or an owl.
So here’s a question to ponder…
What do you want to pay attention to?
Like many people, you probably give a lot of attention to problems, worries, pressures, etc. What if you expanded your awareness to notice small blessings you might be missing?
I invite you to give yourself a little break from the usual mental chatter and pay attention to something new. Look for something you might not have noticed before. Maybe be surprised by the beauty and/or goodness around you.
To paying attention with curiosity,
Kim
