I think Keats got it right:

“Beauty is truth, truth beauty - that is all
Ye know on earth, and all ye need to know” 

As I write, I’m sitting at my window staring at the first snowfall of the year. First snowfalls, even for those of us that are not particularly crazy about snow, are really beautiful. And like a walk in the woods with my dog or time spent in the mountains or on the beach, I’m constantly reminded of the great beauty we have in our lives if we’ll only take a moment to notice.

There are many examples of beauty all around us:

Beauty is the postal carrier who finds the “Dear Santa” letter from a child that asks for warm clothes for her and her baby brother. And then goes out and buys the clothes and delivers them to the child.

Beauty is the joy you feel when your dog senses you’re sad and brings you a toy to play with

Beauty is the foster parent who opens her door and her heart to a child in need

Beauty is …..

Everywhere

All we have to do is….

Notice.
