Celebrating Our Differences

We are all so different in many ways. Each of us reflecting who we are by by what we say and do. We are unique in our own special way. So what is the problem? The challenge is in accepting each other's differences. It would be a sad day if we were all alike, for if we were, the world would be quite a boring place. By interacting with others who are different from us, we learn to be not only more adaptable but accepting of situations that make us uncomfortable. Instead of getting angry and frustated with others who are so different from us, we need to be open to what we can learn from our experiences. Today, appreciate the differences between yourself and others. Be aware of your initial reactions to those who you don't understand and respond negatively to. These people are the very ones you are going to learn the most from. Celebrate the differences that exist between us all, for that is the very thing that makes our life so interesting.

We all see beauty so differently...

(This is a beautiful tiled scene on the side of a public park bathroom. It's made of ceramic pieces and glass, so it shines all the time in the sun. It's really amazing. I'm not sure if anyone appreciates it beside me.)
