How perspective shifts everything
“This is the best place everrrrrrrr!!!!!!!” My son shouted as he jumped into a rolling laundry cart and zoomed across the laundrymat
I snickered as I folded 10 days of laundry..It is?
Over a week ago, after a power outage, our house had an electrical issue that knocked out most of our power — basically everything we need doesn’t work. I’ve MacGyvered a lot of things to limp through, but laundry wasn’t one of them…
After grabbing the only pair of pants that were two inches too small for my son in the pre school scramble, I had to bite the bullet and do the dang laundry..booooo.
So here we were on a Monday night, post work, in the middle of activities, listening to the blasting 80’s music…and letmetellya as a highly sensitive person amidst mega dryers, all sorts of weird smells, and non stop questions from a VERY excited six year old sweet boy, my nervous system was a little ACT-IV-ATED
Even in my grumpiness, his rosy perspective started to shift mine.
And it got me thinking about how powerful that truly is.
The lens we each see the world through is shaped by our experiences, our nervous system, and our upbringing…and it is something that we can shift, mold, and consciously create.
Which is pretty dang cool, right?
How powerful it is to pause, even just for a moment — to see the wonder and awe present in something as mundane as a laundromat on a Monday.
