Refrigerators and invisibility

I have been in many homes around the world and only rarely I have I seen a refrigerator without photos, drawings and important notes. I don’t know how many days it takes but we stop seeing the things we put on the fridge as if they have become invisible.  They don’t really disappear; we just stop seeing them because they are so familiar. It takes special effort to keep paying attention to the things on the refrigerator so they don’t become invisible to us. The same can happen to the people we live with. Unless we make a special effort to notice and acknowledge the people around us they too can become invisible. Take the time today to express appreciation for those around you – don’t let them disappear.

  1. Wow! How right you are! This is something I have never thought of before. I am going to try to love my family better than everyone else in my life. After all, aren’t they the real magnets on my life’s refrigerator! thanks
