Why Notice

It is simple.

It is small.

It is something you might easily pass by on any normal day.

It is anything about life that deserves a little more attention, but often doesn't get it.

This blog is full of the things that I cherish - things that I wish to remember forever.
The unforgettable,

the adventures,

special events,

quotes,

and

my progression as a person through thoughts and poems.

I've found that life can spin so fast it almost feels out of order as we try to live our lives to the fullest in some way or another - most of the time missing the point as to what that really means.

I want to genuinely appreciate everything and everyone around me.  Every day, every breath, every taste, every person I meet can be so magic - and I want to be enchanted by it all; to feel the tingle, the sparkle of light in every moment as it falls into any given day. I appreciate attentiveness in the people around me, and I've realized something important recently:

I can be attentive to myself.

I can give myself the attention that I crave. I can NOTICE myself, teach myself about my thoughts and feelings, and be a listening ear -- to myself. And when you notice yourself, it becomes more possible to create the life that you want. To do a little movie magic on life.  To mentally slow down the most precious parts, add some music, and make the glow of the people and things you see so perfect that it is near impossible to mistake their importance to your own personal plot.
