Perception

"A miracle is a change in perception," A Course of Miracles.

Our perceptions, or our interpretations, are what give meaning to our world. Maybe things are bad only if we perceive them as bad, and good only when we perceive them as good. What would your day be like if you merely observed, rather than prescribing meaning to what is going on in your life? Take the dementia: is it possible to not label it as bad? A good practice might be to try for one day to not label anything as either good or bad. What difference does that make in your day?
