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.
"Beauty is as beauty does," the saying goes. Let's do something everyday for our beauty. To me, adding beauty to the world is a high art. We are, each of us, a work of art. Treat yourself as the precious being that you are!

The 22 Tips for a Beautiful Life - Beauty Tip #1
DO NOT wash your face before you
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.
