It's a strange thing. How we all perceive beauty. It is an opinion that holds so much weight to us. As I am about to move away from my hometown, I have forced myself to take in all the details. To really observe the landscape, the houses I drive by, the way the colors change in the sunsets, the crisp grass in the heat of day, yet the vibrant green after a summer rain. After eighteen years in this town, I finally see it. If I were to visit a vivid city for the weekend I could easily notice the greatness right there before me. When I go on vacation, immediately I'll label the place as a "paradise". But why. After a run down a scenic route near my house it hit me. It's not new. In a sense I've become "nose blind" to all that's in front of me. Ya know... when those same gym shoes have been in your car for a couple days and you become oblivious to the stench. Day in and day out, beauty happens. With so much sorrow in my heart, I realize that I have taken advantage of living in the gorgeous outskirts of the Texas hill country. From here I will strive to look at each day as a new day. New beauty to unfold.
