It's All About Choice

---

This husband of mine…

Strolled with his gotta-lower-her-cholesterol wife…down the river path…beautiful scenery…the old button factory…the sparkling water…the spectacular bridge in a distance…this walk more leisurely than the typical old gal walk…he on a hunt for rocks…draws his bride’s attention…to tiny pieces of seashell…glistening amongst the gravel lining the shore…

Hadn’t noticed them…but they were everywhere…shimmering…diamond like…tiny iridescent beauties…they came from the old button factory…he explains…pointing out where buttons had been pressed…he continues the rock hunt…eyes scouring the rugged terrain…it’s funny…he observes…how people don’t notice rocks…unless…you are a rock hunter…

And so it is…It is funny…how we don’t notice something…unless we are looking for it…pretty rocks…glimmering shell bits…personal slights…inconveniences…irritations…

Kindness…generosity…love…

It’s all in taking notice…it’s all…in what you notice…it’s all about…what you want…to notice…it’s all…about choice…

Choose…to notice the good…choose…to notice effort…choose…to notice honor…and make the world…a better place…
​
And this husband of mine…agrees…
