Want to live a beautiful life? Who doesn't? I just came upon an interesting article in a funny sounding blog. Sounds funny but it has some interesting entries. The one I refer to is 'Want To Live A Beautiful Life?. So you can access the whole thing there...I happen to be a believer in the premise that if one wants to feel better, don't surround yourself with people who bring you down all the time. And I also believe that our physical surroundings influence our outlook. So I was ready for these ideas.
I love to have the sun shining. I get 'down,' after a string of gray days. I'd never make it, living where there was little sunlight at all, at certain times of the year. I don't like to be out in the sun, that much, though. But I like to be able to see it. Even out my windows. And I want my windows open to the outside. The less shades, curtains, drapes, etc., the better. It just feels better to me.
Flowers are beautiful of course, but have more trouble with having them in my environment... Because of allergic reactions at times. -sigh- So winter is very flower bereft. And no flowers growing in the snow, to go out and see.
And sure we all know that "we are what we eat." But it's oh so hard to keep this in mind, 24/7. Duhhhhhh.... Why should it be hard? Duhhhh... I'm still working on this part, though. I admit it. Still working... As I still am working on daily exercise. -sighhhhhhhhhh-
Of course it's great to have some one to love and to laugh with. We're usually pretty social animals. Even those of us who don't really need a crowd around all the time... Total aloneness isn't much of an option, any of us would choose.
'Room To Grow' is a thought provoking one, for me. It touches on a lot of aspects. Because even if we pride ourselves on having a pretty 'open mind,' do we really? Or could it be that we are only 'open minded,' is particular areas? How about how we spend our free time? Do we really explore as much as we could? Or do we tend to stay in our own little rut? Our own little rut can be very safe and comforting and all that. Of course it can. Familiar feel good. But... could I break out some? Could I change some aspects of my own 'rut'? Sure I could!
And amazingly, I'm actually trying to work on that one!!! :-)
