What are you missing?

[tmbmt]

So many things in this life can blind us to the reality around us.   We miss the faults in the one we're in love with, we miss the good in the ones we hate; greed, evny or ambition can blind us to those we hurt around us, or the happiness we miss out on by barreling through life; an eye patch on a good eye can correct it's lazy counterpart,

You know, last time I was here, your blog looked different. Have I missed something? This is a beautifully written post. You are right that we can easily miss things by using a mechanism too long that protected us in the past. You have left me with some philosophical musing to do about what that might be in my life. I just wonder how this post came to be for you.

Thanks :) I haven't really changed anything but my blogging goes in fits and spurts and probably the last time you were here there wasn't much recent to read, other than posts about the $5 on 5 charity thing I was trying to get started. My older posts are a lot more bible-study and a lot less personal stuff, and that little story you commented on is the first creative writing I've ever put up here I think.

I've been trying to convince myself to blog more lately, so I've been trying to go ahead and write down some of the musing I usually just talk to friends on the phone about. Apparently it's agreeing with you lol

This particular post was brought on by a series of thoughts I had in the shower the other day. Earlier that day I saw someone having a fit about someone else, obviously missing the facts of the situation because they disliked the person so much, and it got me to thinking about what kinds of things I miss, and for what reasons, etc.
