Why am I always surprised by the beauty of nature?  Every time I stop and actually look....I see amazing patterns and designs.  So often I look and don't really see. I suppose it's a bit like in the counselling world where we talk about active as opposed to passive listening.   Probably the same applies...i.e. active looking as opposed to passive looking!  On the other hand if I was so busy actively looking at objects and details I would trip over more often!!  Which brings me back to my foot....it's healing well and today I plan to go for a short walk in town.  It's really weird, I am having to train my muscles to work again.  Only three weeks out of action and they have almost forgotten how to function!!
