“Life is full of beauty. Notice it.
Notice the bumble bee, the small child, and
the smiling faces. Smell the rain, and feel the wind.
Live your life to the fullest potential, and
fight for your dreams.”
: o ) Ashley Smith
The beauty of life, the morning dew, the sound of rain, the fresh smell of cut grass. Oh I could go on, as I know you could name a few dozen more, maybe a hundred more things that not only has beauty but design that marvels us.
How the honey bee works, how the ant can carry so much more than its weight, how the leaves of trees turn over when rain approaches. Awesome design with purpose and beauty.
We are also created with beauty and design. We can approach anything with free will. We choose to be happy or sad. We choose to laugh or cry. Often the best laugh is followed by tears however, so then we have the best of both.
We choose and we also can choose to live our life with no worry. We live our life on our terms and by our desired destination. We choose and when we see the beauty the true beauty of this world. We change and that change is often slow but change none the less.
Slow down and see the beauty in the world. The raw materials that God created for us that we use to fuel our body, fuel our machines and let all of it fuel our spirit and soul.
Smiles to you all this day and everyday : )
This weeks affirmation (New)
This day is mine to reflect and project the joy in my heart for this gift of life. I choose to live a life that shapes and molds the energy that surrounds me. I am a perfect design and I choose to let that design in practice make a difference for others. I love that opportunity that has been given to me.
Enjoy your week, share a smile, share in some laughter and dream big and love always : ) Smiles to you this day and everyday
