I'm not sure I dare to reread that last post I made. That was the result of finding out about some undeserving people getting hurt by online trolls and bullies, and I --kinda-- flipped. There's nothing triggers me more than people who use negativity to intentionally hurt people. Negativity and I never got along in general anyway.
I'm in good spirits today. I'm told I have too much energy for mornings, but there's no problem with having some energy, right? Especially with all that I've had to deal with lately. I want to send a reminder out there that despite all the negative media that encircles us daily, there are plenty of things out there that we can look at and remember how many beautiful things still exist in this world. Sometimes, it takes a step back from everyday norms to see it, but it's certainly out there for us to find.
Where do I find beauty? I find it in the little flowers that are blooming in my houseplants. It's in the warmth of the sun coming through the window as well as the cold breeze the sweeps across my face when I go outside. There's a glorious beauty from the numerous stars in the night sky. I find it in the family members I take care of as they sit together and pat hands. It's in the prayers and support extended family say and do in behalf other family members who are struggling. I find it in the encouraging smile in a friend. I could go on and on. The key here is that you have to open your eyes and look. You will see it in the smallest and most unexpected places. So many parts to life are beautiful!
Let's take a break from the dark and dull, and look for something beautiful to dwell on this week. This is the new challenge.
