Forget unseeing, my life has also known so much beauty that my eyes get tired from looking. Here I could put my husband, my children, Ryan Gosling and all the usual suspects. I'm going a bit more 'external' than that. I have also allowed myself only two travel-related items as I could write down twenty of them without stopping if given half the chance.
Things I have seen that I wish I could see forever.
1. Petra at sunset
It would mean going back to Jordan, but it would be worth it.
2. Fireflies in Mozambique
It was the most amazing sight you could imagine.
3. My house just after I've cleaned it
If only it would stay forever in that state. Forever clean, I wanna be forever clean... sorry, had a bit of a random Youth Group moment there.
4. Our bank account just before we put down the deposit on our house
It was so big and purdy.
5. Picasso's La Joie De Vivre
So hard to choose a favourite, but I think this might be it.
What things have you seen that you could look at forever?

The first time I saw my children's faces after they were born.
My wedding photos
People's faces when they see (and are happy with) their wedding (or other) pics that I photographed.
The sight of a fill bottle of cold wine .
My Besties husband walking, he became a quadraplegic 9 yrs and his health is deteriorating.
My little one dancing, it is the best and my heart just melts every time I catch it!!
Moments when I see my two girls smile and laugh together. And the beautiful sights we saw along the way in Tasmania, I want to go there again. Sunsets, the ocean, ahh there are lots. xx
A clean house def Italy, spic and span from to to bottom, warms the cockles of my heart.
My children laughing, giggling together, if only they could stay that young and happy forever.
My children as babies one more time!
My sister just one more time
My boys when they were born
A clean house
All my bills paid up to date
Me & my husband as teenagers
I haven't actually seen Starry Night in person, but I imagine if I could, I would not be able to fill my eyes up enough. It's just so beautiful.
Sunsets... anywhere.
(ditto Reannon): All my bills paid up to date.
I once saw a phosphorescence ocean surf one night in Florida and it was incredible to watch.
And... anything out of my right eye again...
Ah, nice.
- Sunset over Santorini
- Our girls in fits of laughter
- My mum
Thank you for leaving such a lovely comment on my Fresh Horses post the other day.
I am lucky to have seen many amazing sites and things in my time, but I could look at sea view at the bottom of the street where I live forever. I love it
YEs I am with you on the clean house..
BUt I would love to see my children again after I gave birth to them. Especially my home birth...
My Dad who is not with us any more...
It seems we are all not so different. Mine would be sunset over Santorini and Petra. My babies scrunchy new birth faces, my husband's face holding our newbies and the view from the top of the World Trade centre. Very special.
The view of New York from the top of the Empire State Building.
My husband's face the first time he told me he loved me.
Seeing my kid's huge, serene brown eyes as she was placed on my chest.
I'm with you re the clean house. Especially the bathroom!
No-one is allowed in, at least for the first hour!
Oh why is this one harder that the other post??? hmmm... let me see...
1. the view from the eiffel tower
2. of course my children being born
3. their little faces when they get excited, giggle, success, or just are enthralled with something new
4. the bond between overseas relatives and us (hubby, me and the kids) - so much that the tears flowed for days after leaving and the kids talk about them non stop!
5. A complete craft project, which of course turned out exactly as I planned!!!!!
xx
Oh man....I only just got through the 'unseen' list.....now you've got me thinking again!! May have to write a post myself!
Your post title fits so well with mine today! tehe ;)
Sometimes I worry that I won't be able to recall some of the wonderful things I have seen: the field in bloom with daffodils, my husbands face as I walked towards him down the isle, my daughter when she was born....
There are also some things I have seen that I wish I could wipe from my memory
...I like this~
- The look on my husband's face when I saw him for the first time on our wedding day
- The look on Ashleigh's face when she learns something new
- My baby grand, freshly polished, with the lid up
- My Macquarie Dictionary (geek alert)
- An empty sink and kitchen bench
And I'll see your Ryan Gosling and raise you a Jake Gyllenhaal.
Great post.
1. My kids, at any age.
2. Sunsets, trees, the ocean, starry nights.
3. My favorite food before I devour it.
4. Van Gogh
5. Husband
This is so nice, Maxabella.
I'm a total copy cat and I'm going to steal this again...for Sunday's post. I do give you the credit though!
