You are a very talented writer. <br /><br />I too, am a people watcher. We learn so much about the actions of others, the words, clothing etc. However, when we get past the cover and see into the heart, that is when we truly comprehend.Celestina Mariehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10021633519525822335noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5933357007596623587.post-54403367970723471502010-06-23T07:05:31.146-05:002010-06-23T07:05:31.146-05:00I'm a 'watcher' also..but not as discr...I'm a 'watcher' also..but not as discreetly as you are,lol. It's ironic that I should read this post when a devotional today spoke the exact same thing."Lord, if I am known by what I do, may it be right and good"....What am I projecting today for others to see? What essence am I displaying? I do hope it is one of joy and peace.Angelahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11857554289543670693noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5933357007596623587.post-58366671785038831022010-06-22T08:09:29.811-05:002010-06-22T08:09:29.811-05:00Oh, that was so good.

This is useful in real life and in creative realistic characters. So glad I read your blog today.<br /><br />PS: I put on a tight peach top this morning and thought it looked weird.

I, too, find myself - at times - "people watching." I most often look at facial expressions, hand motions or actions, but will now certainly not neglect to notice the smaller details and try to conclude what they in themselves are saying about the person, and, perhaps, what my choices are saying about me :)Shellyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11672003996136914533noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5933357007596623587.post-32443341132819135322010-06-19T23:07:28.126-05:002010-06-19T23:07:28.126-05:00Hi!

She used to stand on our third-floor enclosed balcony in Jordan and watch them for hours. I am too much of an extravert for that. When I cannot figure out the kinds of questions you posed, e.g., why the young person was in a wheelchair, I tend to go up and ask. Can't seem to help myself. People, surprisingly, don't seem to mind.

I know that "leaving" stuff well; and I pray it's of the sweetest scents. <br /><br />I couldn't help but think of the following scripture as I read through your post: "For we are to God the aroma of Christ among those who are being saved and those who are perishing.
