Beauty Every Day
On
difficult days I should look at the list below and remind myself, beauty can be
found every day. I hope you find some comfort in these words too. Remember you
are not alone.
---
Sunrises
and sunsets
Trees,
birds, butterflies, cats, dolphins
Penguins,
monkeys, goldfish, roses
The
patch of blue in the sky on the cloudiest of days
Rain
after a heatwave
Reading
a book which makes you cry
Watching
a film which makes you laugh
Listening
to music which allows you to travel in time
Smiles,
laughter, joy, happiness
Telling
jokes with friends over pints of Coke
Acts
of kindness
Justice
Love
The
sweetness of strawberries, the softness of candyfloss
The
spice of hot curries
The
clunk-fizz noise when opening a can of lemonade
The
clink of water against ice in a glass
Writing
stories, telling jokes, reciting poems, speaking on radio shows
Kites,
trains, bunny rabbits
The
first snowflake to land on the pavement at night
Bubbles,
wishing wells, shiny one and two pence pieces
The
wind brushing against your cheek
Silence
after noisy building work has come to an end
Bright
ideas, finished projects, triumph
Good
news
Babies
giggling
Winning
a hand at Texas hold’em
Inspirational
people
Playing
board games with loved ones, especially Articulate Your Life
Visiting
art galleries, playing football, sailing calm seas
Talking
to people who listen to understand
When
a good day feels like a lifetime
Travelling
to new places and returning to old favourites
The
smell of fish and chips at the seaside
Natural
wonders, especially the Northern Lights
Meeting
new people and catching up with good friends
Family
The
brightest star shining in the darkest of skies
And
so, so much more…
