Do you know what is beautiful about life?
I am certain you do.
It is said that beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
I agree.
Here are a few of my favourites.
Smiles are beautiful.
Smiles are glorious contagions. They light up the smiling person’s face and, simultaneously, as if in a magic trick, the face of the person they are smiling at. How wonderful is that?
The sky is beautiful.
It is endless and ever-changing. There is something so freeing about looking up and knowing you are under an eternity. You could lay on a blanket all day and watch as clouds drift, birds glide, planes carry people back and forth, and the colours change from blues to grays to night…and then… my goodness … the stars!! The moon!!
Birds are beautiful.
Their stunning architecture, the music they share, and how they glide, dive, and sit pretty on a branch. Crows are one of my favourites. The way they haunt in their majestic black overcoats and voice their opinions loudly.
Dogs are beautiful.
Our loyal companions never judge and always anticipate our arrival as if we are gifts from the heavens… wiggling their bums and jumping with pure joy and love. They protect us from danger and climb onto our laps, into our beds, and ultimately into our hearts.
Words are beautiful.
At least…they can be when used with care.
A song, a poem, a movie, a book, whispers in the dark, heartfelt apologies, last words, hellos at the start. Have a lovely day, and it is so nice to meet you. Thank you.
Hope is beautiful.
It is a lantern in the dark, lighting the way and keeping you on the right path. In the darkest of times, hope keeps us getting up in the morning, brushing our teeth, making toast, and looking our best for the day. We don’t know where the day will lead, but we have our to-dos, our intentions, and our hope that we will get through, and another day, and another, will unfold before us.
Writing down what is beautiful to you is a relaxing exercise, especially if things feel ugly. I encourage you to make your own list and feel free to share in the comments!
No pressure.
Just love.
p.s. YOU ARE BEAUTIFUL !!!
