Have you ever wondered?  Out loud or in your mind... where you were or what you were doing when all those sunrises and sunsets passed you by without you noticing?

I think I have been distracted most of my life by the fact that I was looking for who I am supposed to be in all the wrong places, because once I lost what I thought defined me, (the material things, the people who boosted my ego, the job that I hated but offered me "status" if you will...) I was able to receive a clearer vision of life over all... I notice every sunrise and sunset, how greener the grass and leaves are after the rain, the way the river rises and falls and how it flows fast or slow... but most importantly, I notice how Sherri sees the world and I don't have to question her view. I just listen and can see clearly what she sees, feel what she feels and its pretty amazing to me.

I have seen snails many times in my life, but yesterday I saw a snail for the first time ever through Sherri's perspective... it was beautiful and passionate and hilarious and memorable. A SNAIL!!! yes. I feel so free because I have this blessing. I can see. I am no longer blinded by stress, drama, negativity, false successes or instant gratifications. That realization, I thought came suddenly, but now know that it was just accepted suddenly.

Having someone become so close to you that they bring you into their day with their words and give you an opportunity to literally be in two places at one time is an amazing experience. That is the beauty of sharing a life with someone. being in a real relationship where you just are yourself and they are themselves and everything else becomes appreciation for learning something new about one another.

I wonder how much of this I missed when I was distracted for so long...?

I wont miss anything now...
