What is beautiful? (My Recent Top 25 List)

"Beauty is in the eye of the beholder." 

Have you ever tried to understand beauty? It's a tough one to describe - mostly - because, yes - there are some universal truths - however, it varies greatly by perspective.

I wonder what your recent top 25 are? Here's mine:

  1. Laughing hard
  2. Showing up
  3. Photographs with light in them
  4. Humility
  5. When a child wants to hold your hand
  6. The fall temperatures
  7. Helping by listening
  8. Winning a hard-fought battle
  9. Spirituality
  10. A change in perspective
  11. A baby's giggle
  12. Standing up for yourself
  13. My sister
  14. Passionate people
  15. Defending someone's name - when they're not there
  16. Seeing the excitement a child has for the holidays
  17. When your body finally recovers
  18. Kindness - when it's undeserved
  19. A child's perspective
  20. A song that gives you the goosebumps
  21. Knowing you gave it everything you've got
  22. Old-school manners
  23. Asking for help
  24. Seeing my loved ones thrive
  25. And finally, this quote --> "My heart is at ease knowing that, what was meant for me will never miss me, & what misses me was never meant for me."
