During the months of May and June, I find myself spending more time in the greeting card section of a store. My family has five birthdays plus there is graduation time, Mother's Day and Father's Day for which I need to buy cards. As I was making my choices this year, I ran across a card that struck me as very meaningful even though it wasn't one I purchased. It started out with the statement, "How to Make a Beautiful Life" which intrigued me. In this issue, I will look at some important ingredients for making a beautiful life. It is dedicated to my oldest grandson who is graduating from 8th grade. Back to Index |
| 2. Five Ways to Make a Beautiful Life "Beautiful can mean different things to different people. Webster's dictionary defines it as "having beauty; very pleasing and satisfying to the senses, eye, ear, and mind." The suggestions that I am giving you focus on your emotional and mental well-being. I am assuming that your basic needs for food, water, shelter, and physical and financial security are met. Sometimes life can be confusing and messy. You may look for shortcuts to tomorrow and not find any. Even so, it is possible to find your own way. What may seem to be a rock in your path may end up being a stepping stone to something important. You need to know where you are going as well as where you have been. If you feel lost, people who love you will find you. Get in touch with your purpose for being here. Your purpose grounds you and keeps you moving forward. Back to Index |
