• Need a New Outlook?

  
  

  My DH says that I have an interesting outlook on life.  When asked to elaborate he says that I see things that others might overlook. 

  
  

  There are times when we are sitting outside or, hell, inside, for that matter, and I start staring off into space.  The hubby will ask me what the problem is or if anything's wrong.  I always tell him nothing, or no.  Usually I am watching something.  Today, it was a car driving slowly down the driveway of the house behind us (they live on a farm, the driveway is long).  The sunlight bounced off the roof of the car and it was interesting to see the light change and bend with each tree the driver went under.

  
  

  Another time, we were setting up our new TV in the bedroom and I noticed the cup rings on the dresser that my mother had given us.  The dresser belonged to my great grandfather or uncle, I don't remember which.  At any rate, the furniture is old.  I was sort of thinking outloud when I said, "I love these cup rings, it's so interesting to think who put them here, what were they like?  What did the cup look like, where did they put their furniture, what was on top of this when it was theirs?"  DH just chuckled and said, "I love you."  I asked why he was laughing and he replied, "You have the most interesting outlook about things, you can take something so simple, like those cup rings, and turn them into something so intriguing".....He has a point.

  
  

  I like to look at things and try to see them differently than someone else may.  All things have a million interesting facts about them, I want to know every last one of them.
