I can take time in the morning to sit outside and listen to birdsong, drink coffee, and see the day approach. 1 Reply Nina9 months agoNinaTake time every day to get outdoors and experience God’s creation. Notice the beauty that surrounds us all in the habitat we call home. 1 Reply Randy Shinn9 months agoRandy ShinnOpen my inner eyes and ears..be awake…not in a slumber 1 Reply Sieger des Friedens9 months agoSieger des FriedensRemoving old and unneeded stuff from my desktop, put flowers on it and smile for 3 minutes 3 Reply Amy9 months agoAmySlowing down, getting off the internet and it’s addictive nature to look at “just one more thing”, decluttering my surroundings, and simplifying. These can create beauty. 3 Reply Joey9 months agoJoeyCreate more space to write and take long walks. Whenever I spend time outside I unwind and feel at peace with the world. Being in a big city I make contact with a lot of people who hold strong views and become argumentative. I need to find room to escape and hang out with kindred souls. I find a lot to beauty in that. 4 Reply Hot Sauce9 months agoHot SauceMaybe open the windows more often. It’s easy to lose touch with nature when I’m completely sealed off inside. 4 Reply Padraig Mac Giolla Easpuic9 months agoPadraig Mac Giolla EaspuicThe rush and speed of this human race no time to stop no time for space Life is chartered by things need to do Lose sight of my life lose sight of you How often those things which should hold so dear Cannot see the beauty and running on fear Please help me to be guided this day See the beauty in all things come my way This day will 4 Reply Amy9 months agoAmyLove your poetry!

Bell`s sound. Humble bow. 3 Reply Bob V9 months agoBob VI thought about this question in two ways - time and physical space. For time, it’s perhaps dedicating a few minutes each day on what’s beautiful in the moment. It could be to reflect on a person, thing, view, or situation, and just noticing the perfection that exists in the moment for it. And then remembering that all is in ‘divine right order’, even if it’s not to my ego’s preference. It’s all action and reaction, a perfect dance.

It could even be an argument between people, just noticing the cause-effect-cause-effect. Then there’s beauty in physical space – perhaps it’s just clearing out some clutter from some corner, allowing me the opportunity to ‘take a special breath’ on it. Or putting out some photographs or a picture, to create a space of beauty to be noticed. I guess this question has prompted me to take two specific actions – so, I’m grateful! Read More5 Reply Debra9 months agoDebraWould love to know what those two specific actions are that you are grateful for but that may be too personal for this sort of forum to share. Certainly has piqued my interest. I say pictures of those you love, whether still with us or not, are wonderful testaments to beauty. I do it subtlety. Always have. There are pictures of my late husband with candles to honor him in discreet places mainly meant for my remembrance. 3 Reply Bob V9 months agoBob VWhat two actions, you ask. First, to take a few dedicated moments each day to consciously reflect on something of beauty. Second, to create some physical beauty, with pictures, etc. 0 Reply Debra9 months agoDebraGorgeous. Beauty in the most simplest form is magnificent. Everyday I look around and imagine what little bursts of beauty will make my home and my life that much more of an expression of me, enjoyment for my guests and an expansion of my creative spirit. Beauty at its essence lives and breathes so long as you allow it t0 happen. 1 Reply Elizabeth M Jones9 months agoElizabeth M JonesWith poetry, writing a haiku about the seasons and how the seasons change every day. Keeping a poetry journal of nature. Creating a beautiful garden. Creating a beautiful cozy home and embracing Hege. Praying and living and hearing the voice of God on my left and on my right saying this is the way walk in it. 4 Reply Jeana9 months agoJeanaStarted a YIN yoga class yesterday. Sharing community meditation is a powerful path to beauty. When your soul feels centered, you are open to the magnificence of nature in all its manifestations. Namaste to all in this spirit community. 5 Reply Lioness9 months agoLionessBy getting back into my routine, which involves getting out into my surroundings. I live in one of the most beautiful areas of the UK and i am always taken aback by its beauty when I am in it. I look forward to making more time for it, which means more time for me and my mind. 4 Reply Jeana9 months agoJeanaGreetings Lioness, We are having a spectacular spring in Northern California, USA. After years of drought, we had pretty decent rainfall and the wildflowers have responded with a riot of color. Every Sunday we get out in nature and hike. When the temperatures exceed 100 F. we will have to hike early in the morning to continue. It’s worth it. Time is fleeting. Carpe Diem. 1 Reply Francine Marie Tolf9 months agoFrancine Marie TolfWhat a beautiful question. And I think the only way is time and attention. And for a nature lover like myself, I need to remember that there is all kinds of beauty that can be found in people, in faces, in moments of laughter and kindness. I will try to look for beauty today. 5 Reply foo629 months agofoo62Reminding myself to be more mindful. Sometimes, it’s just a matter of really looking at what is around me and taking it all in. 4 Reply Tracey9 months agoTraceyThrough Knowing the necessity – and also the uniqueness of what “Beauty”. means to me. Spring decluttering, clearing and decorating were my priority last month. Yesterday I was thoroughly delighted by the sight of small corner that I had added a table, lamp, and plant to 🙂 – BEAUTIFUL to me! This month I think I will plan some field trips to beauty…botanical gardens, art museum, glass museum are all coming to mind! 4 Reply Jeana9 months agoJeanaGreetings Tracey, your post makes me think you’ll probably be one to celebrate International Art Appreciation Day, I believe it’s August 9th, each year. Enjoy! 1 Reply pkr9 months agopkrReading poetry….❤️ 4 Reply Debra9 months agoDebraBeauty draws me almost like a warm fire on a chilly night or cool waters on a hot day: Art, music, dance, great literature, nature…endless. Let me remember to breathe and experience the beauty of the blue skies, the breeze as it tangles my hair, the smile on the person’s face passing me by, laughter off in the distance. More space for beauty for me is remembering to do so in the moment. 4 Reply 1 2 Next » My Private Gratitude Journal Write an entry in your private gratefulness journal Get Started This site is brought to you by A Network for Grateful Living, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit.
