Seeing Things

Want riches? Then see what's before you with fresh eyes open wide, as if you're seeing it for the last time, or the first.
I had this experience at one remove by driving my beagle, George, to the PetSmart in another town to pick up Eukanuba Adult Weight Control dog food.
George loves car rides, and drags me to the car door when I mention them. But he's never had such a long one. I partially rolled down his window and locked it, and he panted excitedly and "dog-smiled" the whole 10-mile trip, his eyes bright, taking in all the wonders.
On days when we may feel we can no longer see wonders, it helps to be with those who can still thrill to them. The happy frisson is a contagion.
