Hi Suzanne: That’s a great quote.
Off the top of my head, the one that comes to mind is “Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.” I’ve found that to be especially true as a traveller, as often people will walk by something and not see the beauty in it. I really try to take my time and breath in the ‘sense of place’ so that I’m in the moment and not just walking by it.
Doreen:
That is so true! I also find that I need to “slow down and smell the roses”. I am trying to work on being in the moment and noticing more of the world around me.
