Stop, Look, and Listen. Words of caution before crossing some railroad tracks?
No, words to heed to keep your eyes and ears open in life. What, you say? I say are you paying attention? It's all around you in fleeting moments. What am I talking about you ask? I say,
IT IS A THING OF BEAUTY.
Beauty is everywhere. Little snippets of life.
In real estate, look for the joy on the wife's face as she is handed the keys to the new home she has just purchased at closing and is about to start a new dream chapter in her life.
Look in the eyes of a smiling child who has just gotten off the swings after an afternoon of fun with you.
I have seen it in the "swish" of the basketball going straight through net in a pickup basketball game as the winning shot and all the fellas laughing and patting each other on the back.
It is in the tears of joy of the grandmother when her grandson visits from out of town over Thanksgiving having not seen him in so long.
Beauty is in the opening of an envelope with a heartfelt letter from a loved one who is far away and has taken time to write.
You'll find it with a big smile on your face when a long last friend one day picks up the phone and calls to check in on you and asks, "What's happenin'?" Sorry I haven't called.
Don't miss ALL the beauty there is in life every day and by the way create some yourself!
