Give Life to Beauty

Think a beautiful thought. Feel a beautiful feeling.

Beauty feels good for a reason. It connects you to life's best possibilities.
Beauty is truth expressed in a way that cannot be doubted or denied. Beauty can comfort, heal, calm and inspire.


Beauty is a precious gift. Beauty is always there when you choose to experience it.


Take time to enjoy the beauty that is present in every detail. Savor the beauty in ordinary moments, and you'll keep discovering even more.

Allow the beauty that is, to touch you and transform you. Give life to beauty, and you give much beauty to life.


-- Ralph Marston

Right now, about 300 geese are gathered on the lake outside my window, grouping up for the migration that will take place in another month or two. They are quacking, and forming groups and practicing "wing" formations....and it is absolutely beautiful.

A couple of years ago I would not have noticed. I would be too buried in fear and dread of another day, to even notice the beauty that each new day brought.

Today, I make a point of noticing. Today I am grateful.

Hugs
