New Eyes

I consider myself a grateful person. My family and friends tease me at being overly so sometimes. Which I believe is impossible. 

But, I have met my match.  New friends, from Brazil, here to create a new life in Canada.  One suitcase each.  Finding their way together, in a new city, a new language, with some new ways. 

In the ten days since their arrival I have had the pleasure of seeing our life through their eyes.  The peacefulness of our home, the selection in the grocery store, the abundance of water, the safe streets, the beauty of ocean and mountains.  The joy of a new beginning and a dream coming true. 

I didn't have to leave my life behind, in order to see it anew. 

"The voyage of discovery is not in seeking new landscapes but in having new eyes."  Marcel Proust

What do your eyes see, dear ones.
