JULY 14 WHAT IS BEAUTIFUL TO YOU?

 Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.


Not everything that looks beautiful on the outside is beautiful on the inside.
And of course, the opposite it true - something not so beautiful can be really beautiful.
Beauty is in the soul.
I think you need to take time to learn someone's heart.
For example, my friend Edna, the average person scoffed at her, but once you got to know her heart - she was beautiful.
My granddaughter in law - well she is a gorgeous girl, but I tell you her heart matches it. She's a blessed one.  She is such a gentle soul.   I am so glad my grandson married her. She truly is the sweetest mom.
Beauty is the light within...
                                         


We have a toy box just for "M". She knows it's hers and owns it!!!  We also have a book basket.  A little clothes and changing basket.  Our family room looks like it is going to EXPLODE.  
My family has their 'special' things everywhere.
Why I get kidded all the time and it's not all mine, I have no idea.
But you know what - who cares - it's beautiful to me because it shows LIVED IN AND LOVED.
We moved from a 5-bedroom house with 3500 square feet to a three-bedroom town house 1800 square feet a few years ago and I got rid of half my life!! That was hard.
If people can come and have a good time, enjoy, and not worry - then it's beautiful to me.
 (I figure the gang can just toss the rest of it out when I'm gone.)


Pictures on Facebook are beautiful to me.
They just make my heart warm and happy.
They make me smile.
The sillier the better.


Memes are beautiful to me.
I send some out daily to friends and loved ones.
It is how I express love and saying, "Hello, I love you and I'm thinking of you".






I hope this plays.  Let me know.
MUSIC is beautiful to me too.

I'm currently living in a beautiful world. There is beauty all around us if we just take the time to look for it . I have a beautiful family and a beautiful life. Nothing could be better than the life I live.

Your family room sounds perfectly warm and inviting, Sandie. Beautiful, just like Edna and your sweet DIL.
I didn't always realize this, but now I believe beauty is something one feels in their heart as well as in their eyes. Thank you for being a beautiful friend!

Beauty truly is in the eye of the beholder, Sandie. And you definitely have your priorities straight - life isn't about things, but about relationships. With little "M" visiting, you have a full and happy plate. Enjoy every minute of it!

Oh, I love that first picture of the older woman, and I especially liked your words about beauty. I think it's so special that Mackenzie has her own little play corner with books and toys and clothes. I know what you mean about the room exploding.....When I visited the girls, we had so much fun, and their houses got crazy messy, but there was so much love within all the walls of the house. That little duck with the pink fluffy shoes is delightful. You know how much I love pink. And there's just something about Paris music, isn't there? It's soothing to listen to sometimes. Shaye is a lovely person, and I'm glad Andy found her. And thank you for all your e-mails of delightful quotes and pictures. They make my heart smile daily.

I absolutely loved this post. It made me pause and reflect on what beauty truly means to me. For me, beauty will always be being out in nature. It fills my heart with love and gratitude, just taking in the awe-inspiring beauty God has given us to share with our loved ones.
