BEAUTIFUL My mother sat me down and said, ...you are beautiful to me but must know that you are beautiful for yourself. You should also be aware that true beauty is in the eye of the beholder, which means that how beautiful you are to other people is always going to be subjective to who is looking at you at that time, and since you will always be looking at yourself first, you should find your own beauty and feel good about who you are.” She went on to tell me that I needed to take the time to identify those things that I found to be beautiful about myself but also celebrate what I thought was weird or unusual because those were the special things that God had given to me that made me different from everybody else. I learned how to appreciate, embrace, and enhance those special things so that they would shine rather than be hidden...We learned to love and identify with what made us uniquely beautiful. ~BeNeca Ward Author Of 3rd Generation Country, A Practical Guide To Raising Children With Great Values The most beautiful people we have known are those who have known defeat, known suffering, known struggle, known loss, and have found their way out of the depths. These persons have an appreciation, a sensitivity, and an understanding of life that fills them with compassion, gentleness, and a deep loving concern. Beautiful people do not just happen. ~Elisabeth Kübler-Ross Psychiatrist, Author Strong is the soul, kind, and wise, and beautiful. ~Matthew Arnold British Poet Happy Thursday Everyone! One of my lovely FB friends was asking what she should wear today to her trade show. I thought to myself, whichever outfit she wears its going to be beautiful! Shes just that kind of special person. When you think about it, beauty is not just what we see on the outside is it? Its really about --- whats in your soul, in your personality, in your smile, in your laughter, in the joy you bring to others, in your compassion and caring, in the respect that you show to your parents and loved ones, and-- in the Love that you share with the World. To me, thats what really makes a person Beautiful! ~pearce :-)
