My Visual Landscape.

Our eyes are such a curious organ.

They come in all shapes and sizes and a multitude of colors.

They water when you are sad.

They process light and allow you to see beautiful rainbows and awe inspiring sunsets.

They allow you to read words and have muscles that let you focus on things close up or far away.

Can you imagine your world without this organ?



And although they can look a bit scary up close, they are expressive and mysterious and are known as the window to our soul.

I know that there are some who have lost this ability and it makes me sad. It also makes me want to cherish it all the more; to take in everything I can and not take this gift for granted.

Have you ever really thought about what a blessing it is?

Or just how much you actually take in with your eyes?

I’ve been thinking about this for some time now. Just as our personality can be reflective of whether or not we are a glass is half empty or glass is half full kind of person, our eyes take in what we allow them to.

We are the camera and our eyes are the lens. What images are you capturing?

Kristi over at Live and Love out Loud shared a beautiful post along these lines. She spoke of finding beauty in the most unsuspecting of places. You should check it out. Very thought provoking and inspiring.

And by the way, just a reminder that there is 1 week left until my first Project Smile party. Are you remembering to look for your smiles? If not, it's not too late. You have seven whole days left. All it takes is a little more awareness. And remember, smiles come in all forms. Some are outward, while others are just warm fuzzies. You get those still, right? Mark your calendars for Sept 30th. See you then!
