DiaryOfAWorm: Find What You Are Looking For


Backyard Garden Today

Today I took my wife on a tour of our backyard garden which I thought was looking good. She appreciated it but found some weeds and spots not looking so good.

Today I went to the Juneteenth Day Celebration in Milwaukee. This festival commemorates the end of slavery. If you were looking, as many were, for good African American food and music, it was easy to find. I did notice a number of groups of about 5 police officers that were on the lookout for trouble. Fortunately, while I was there, they did not find any.

There is an old saying that “you find what you are looking for”. Being a naturally optimistic person I usually find the good in all things. I feel sad for persons who, when depressed, find what is wrong with anything. Sometimes I am that way. But my base position is to seek good in all. In the retreat exercises of St. Ignatius of Loyola it is called Finding God in all things. But no matter what you call it, you usually find what you are looking for.
