Look Around

She bit Mr. Ryan's foot when he got too close

and he overreacted by calling her a "Bad Listener!"

Sometimes I don't stop long enough to look around me.

.

But sometimes I do.

In the last few weeks I started with farm animals at the County Fair and I'm currently up to the backyard butterfly section in kj's Book of Look Around. (I made that title up just now.) :)

.

I am swamped, but not enough to not look around. I take that as another good sign. I am in the world these days. There is an Art Fair happening in my yard this weekend, I have a garage full of furniture to move from my Mother's house somehow within a week, I am soliciting endorsements and grant money for Renee's Book of Love, and I have these work reports that never go away.

.

But most of what I am doing these days is all good. Even the hard part is better. Yesterday I came across a blog comment from someone who has hurt me and could care less, and every comment she intentionally floats seems to reactivate that hurt. But I'm volleying back, leaving a pointed comment of my own if that what it takes. This what I said I would do rather than let more word arrows come without defending myself. This is the 'don't mess with Me' part of my life these days. I like the fact that I am taking care of myself.

.

But I digress. Mostly this post today is about Looking Around.

.

Seeing.

.

& Being a Good Listener.
