Changing your vision

Over the week-end, I spent some time around the house doing some much-needed spring cleaning. Having helped Sue over many years with managing holiday homes in our town (over sixty at one stage!), I can say I am well and truly trained in the art! ?I’m pretty nifty at most things but vacuuming is probably top of the list. With my head down, focussed on the floor, I jumped into action on Saturday morning. After a few minutes, of bending, I stood up and gazed at the ceiling only to discover a mass of cobwebs draped across the beams; they had evidently been gathering the past few months but I hadn’t noticed them up until that point. Thankfully, with the vacuum cleaner arm extended, I was able to suck the cobwebs all off the ceiling with ease leaving me with an odd sense of satisfaction.

?Perhaps a metaphor for life? ?Sometimes, we can become so fixed on something that our vision fails to take into account what is going on all around us. The very thing we are searching for is close by but not immediately apparent. Perhaps all we have to do is to look in another direction to find what we are really looking for?

Here’s to changing your vision this week!
