Henry David Thoreau said, "It's not what you look at that matters, it's what you see." That's something we need to think about to really understand. Hundreds of people may look at exactly the same thing I am noticing today, but what we truly SEE makes a big difference. Ponder that a bit, and tell me what you think.
I should type this one out, in case the photo ever disappears, shouldn't I? You can also see what I wrote about Atul Gawande's Being Mortal: Medicine and What Matters in the End (published in 2014), HERE:
"We've been wrong about what our job is in medicine. We think our job is to ensure health and survival. But really it is larger than that. It is to enable well-being. And well-being is about the reasons one wishes to be alive."
Anne, who blogs at "My Head Is Full of Books" (HERE), gave me the idea for this post by quoting Erma Bombeck: "My theory on housework is, if the item doesn't multiply, smell, catch fire, or block the refrigerator door, let it be."
