"Anyone who keeps the ability to see beauty never grows old." -- Franz Kafka
You know God has blessed me in so many ways . . . Of course Bella is the greatest of all my blessings. But also in keeping me feeling, acting, and in some respects looking young. But most of all, it is the things that He gives us to glance at, experience, and enjoy each day that keeps us young - the beauty around us that we so often take for granted. The laughter of child, the unconditional love of a pet, the gorgeous flowers and plants especially the ones Arizona has to offer, the brilliant sky above with the moon and stars twinkling like a silent gift which is unveiled to us each night whether or not we appreciate it; the warmth of a strong, solid, gripping hug from a friend or a child, the innocence of youth, the kinds words of a loved one . . . I could go on. Beauty is everywhere . . . it is a relationship when there is an eye-opening experience where one party realizes how much the other party would give to be with that person . . . how much they would sacrifice . . . and not even consider it a sacrifice. Beauty is my little girl yelling "Ma-ma" right now and Charles telling me that everyday he wants to do something to make me love him more. Beauty is love . . . and it is all around us. Thank you God.
