Having a baby can give you perspective. It can also give you stretch marks. I'm going to focus on the former, not the latter.
When you have a child, your priorities change. You change. You stop swearing. You start eating your vegetables. You get life insurance. You become a model for this tiny person you brought into the world. No pressure, right?
For me, having my muse changed my perspective a lot. I became more considerate; I was surprised to discover it wasn't about ME all the time. I even became okay with that.
I shifted to being a more considerate person. Holding doors open, letting people cut in front of me in traffic,trying to actually hear people.
Today's 31 day challenge topic is about being present with those in my life.
As I mentioned before, I'm not always present. Even when I'm in a conversation I can sometimes be focused on what is coming next. So, I'm working to shift my perception even more - I'm focusing my energy on the people in my life. Starting small, connecting; one conversation at a time.
And....in honour of shifting perceptions today's photo is an experiment in tilt shift photography. If you don't know anything about tilt shift, watch this video. It's tres cool.
What is amazing that just by changing the perspective, that the picture can have a totally differnt.
{edit} - So I had just had day surgery and was under the effects of some divine anesthetic when I posted this. Clearly I thought I had made a complete thought. I was wrong. Regardless, I meant to say that perspective is everything, and it can change your world and how you experience it.
