Seeing with New Eyes

 

I love Rachel Naomi Remen's stories. I am reading My Grandfather's Blessings. The story Seeing with New Eyes is about a doctor who is very skilled and saves many lives..and yet is depressed himself. He thinks he should quit his job and find more meaningful work. Rachel asks him to think about the answer to three questions at the end of each day..and to write his answers in a journal.
1. What surprised me today?
2. What touched or moved me today?
3. What inspired me today?

Bet you know the end of the story. I am answering these three questions each day for a week.

The photo is of Lake Michigan by the Siena Center where I was on retreat last weekend. I have no memory of the great lakes in winter. I was in awe.
