A Field of Daizy's

Shut the blinds?

Last night was my first night in my home for the summer.(See yesterday's entry) When it was time to settle in for the evening, I shut the blind so those who might be outside wouldn't see me getting into my lounging/bed attire. They either would have done the 'point and laugh routine' or the 'scream in horror and run routine'. But in closing the blinds, I couldn't see outside either. I would rather be able to see what is going on out there. I don't want to be closed off from the world.

When we try to shut out others because we don't want them to know what we are doing, it's like closing my blinds. They may not be able to see into our inner lives, but in turn, we can't see into theirs. We lose touch with wonderful friends who just may be what we need to help with that problem we are trying to hide. We need each other. God made us to be social, interacting people.

Now, if you'll excuse, I'm going to open my blinds. I think there might be something awesome for me to see out there.
