What do you think?

 

This is one of my large serving spoons. What comes to mind when you see this image? A pot of soup or chicken and dumplings? A scoop of apple cobbler? Creamy mashed potatoes?

When my first great-grandson Liam was three, he asked me for my magic spoon. Hmmm? I let him search the silverware drawer until he found what he was looking for. 

He walked away with it and bent his head almost to the floor gazing into the spoon. He tilted it and his head this way and that. 

Life sometimes feels upside down like an inverted self image in the bowl of a serving spoon. 

Liam tried repeatedly to flip his image in the spoon. I guess he figured if he stood on his head it would happen.

How to explain the principles of curved surface

reflections? Light travels straight until it hits a 

curved surface.

The concave bowl of the spoon bounces incoming rays back toward a central focus point lying between your face and the center of  the spoon. In passing through this point, rays from the upper part of your face are reflected downward, while those from the lower part are reflected upward, thus an UPSIDE DOWN IMAGE.

We've all had an upside down kind of day where everything seems backwards or goes wrong. How do YOU handle it? 

I have lived long enough to know tomorrow brings a change, no matter how small. There are things happening that we can not see which alter our perspective and lives.

Wishing you a heaping scoop of peace and a spoonful of patience if your life seems overwhelming right now.
