The Art of Flower Viewing

With these strange weather patterns here in North Carolina, flowers have been blossoming ahead of schedule. This gives us the early opportunity to admire them. Many of us enjoy the beauty of flowers, yet how many of us intentionally gaze upon them? How many of us can honestly say “I’m going to contemplate beauty and life’s impermanence, embodied by this flower.” The flower's beauty will fade, and the petals will fall away. Something may be born from the flower, or another flower will bud and blossom in its place. Life goes on while the contemplated flower's life will not. It will not last forever.  In Japan they have one word for that entire concept. Hanami.

The 22 Tips for a Beautiful Life - Beauty Tip #1

                                                                 

DO NOT wash your face before you 
take your dog out for a walk in the morning!
     
The Reason: 

Your natural oil protects your skin from the
harsh elements. 
  
This also applies to those who run in the morning,
or stride off to yoga class, or whatever it is you do 
in the morning, besides 
                                   lounge around in your PJs 
                                                                         like me.
