“I think you see the world through a different set of eyes.” – Abby Korb, November 3, 2011.

My daughter told me this as I was looking at the setting of the sun behind the crisp edge of clouds and blue sky.

Back to my daughters statement from above: What does it mean to you for someone (or yourself) to look at the world through a different set of eyes than someone else? Why might my daughter have said this to me? What does it mean to you to respond to the world with wonderment and awe? Have fun figuring it out… have a great and awe inspiring weekend!
