Looking together in the same direction.

Looking together in the same direction.
Sea otters hold hands while they sleep so they don't drift apart.

by my favorite poet, Mary Oliver

"Instructions for living a life.

Pay attention.

Be astonished.

Tell about it."

Outlook is everything

     A friend shared this experience....she was having a really bad day....and to top it off, a road-raged driver yelled at her and gave her the finger.  So she rolled down her window and started singing the theme song from the Mary Tyler Moore song at the top of her lungs...."who can take a nothing day, and suddenly make it all seem worthwhile? ...."
     What a wonderful outlook.

"Theme from the Mary Tyler Moore Show" Lyrics

Who can turn the world on with her smile?
Who can take a nothing day, and suddenly make it all seem worthwhile?
Well it's you girl, and you should know it
With each glance and every little movement you show it
Love is all around, no need to waste it
You can never tell, why don't you take it
You're gonna make it after all
You're gonna make it after all
How will you make it on your own?
This world is awfully big, girl this time you're all alone
But it's time you started living
It's time you let someone else do some giving
Love is all around, no need to waste it
You can never tell, why don't you take it
You might just make it after all
You might just make it after all
