Life is Full of Beauty
Seeing the beauty in nature, architecture or people as you go from one day to the next is a gift. I have a special eye for lovely old churches and cathedrals, but a flower in bloom can be just as lovely to me on a given day.
Having a philosophy of life that sees beauty and goodness as opposed to need and evil will enhance not only your life, but will probably prolong it as well. I have recently taken up the hobby of photography and find myself fascinated by all kinds of things from leaf patterns to bridges to cloud formations.
There is so much beauty in the world. It is easy to get so used to it that you no longer appreciate it. Try to refresh your perspective and see things in a different light.
