Love What You See

I'm watching Pushing Daisies, Season 2, Episode 2. Having exactly 2 minutes and 53 seconds left to the show the Private Investigator begins to say these words, "Love what you see."

The facts are: At the beginning of the episode a tense, "perfect" mother came to the Private investigator asking for help in finding her missing daughter, whom she missed very much. At the same time, the Pie Maker, Olive, Chuck and the two unmarried sisters who Chuck calls Aunts are all attempting to handle change and learn to let go. Through a series of events, that shall be referred to as the plot of the episode, the tense, "perfect" mother was reunited with her daughter. She began to tell her daughter how much trouble she had caused and seemed to forget how much she had missed her daughter two seconds before the exact time in which the Private Investigator said these words, “Love what you see."

I suppose if you don't watch Pushing Daisies then that was confusing. The show is narrated that way and I felt that it was fitting.

"Love what you see." I love that that phrase was said right at that moment. The mother claimed she didn't know who her daughter was anymore. Emerson Cod (the Private Investigator) commanded her to love what she saw. It didn't matter that she had changed. She was still her daughter and she still needed to love her. Ned (the Pie Maker), Olive, Chuck and her Aunts learned to do the same with the change in their lives, though it was not easy.

Life will not always be the same. Change is hard to accept for most people. I'm definitely one of them. No matter how much I hate it, it will still happen. When it does I only have two choices. I can make myself miserable wishing for how it could and "should be"; or I can simply love what I see.
