It is what it is, or what we think it is?

In real life, unlike in Shakespeare, the sweetness of the rose depends upon the name it bears. Things are not only what they are. They are, in very important respects, what they seem to be.
- Hubert H. Humphrey

I’m off to Colorado (yet again) for a few days — Mike has a conference in Denver, so we’re joining him, then spending the weekend with my folks.

I believe that your perspective is everything. We have so many different possibilities every day in the percpective we choose to take on life - perhaps “it is what we believe it is?” Ok…that’s my waxing philosophical for the day. I am still under a heap of boxes and cleaning in the new house & haven’t blogged in ages!

I believe that we do not see the world as it is; we see the world as we are. That is a famous quote — I am not sure who said it, but it rings true for me.

Aw, man! We totally were in Denver at the same time. I was in the Tech Center (South, near-ish to Park Meadows) on Wed/Thur/Fri. You wouldn’t have seen Maya, since she was with the grandparents in Monument, but you could have met Mr. G!
