    Natural beauty can strike awe in someone or bring a smile to your face..



    You are right I do try to find joy in the smallest of things... You are so right on that one..

    Just told my friend this morning actually, that small things make me happy...



    Thanks so much for you comment Tasmin.. I loved reading it...



    hugs

    I think you should put in your story that you try to find joy in the smallest of things.

    The beauty of sunset makes you pull over your car to admire
    and the flight of a hawk .. .as I really loved reading that.

    It is true there is so much beauty in the world but it is easy to forget because of all the crap that goes on as well.


    I, for sure, need to make an effort to remember to find joy in natural beauty because it certainly does give me joy.

    every long rewarding journey starts with the first step.....what doesnt kill us only makes us stronger .....and the one i have lived by my whole life as i can relate to you alot in this manner.......damaged people are dangerous because they know no matter what happens they can and will survive through anything.

    Yes, I know... Not everyone makes it through unscathed.. I had a broher who turned to drugs because of everything we went through.. It was hard to watch him fight his demons.. It started at 17 and he finally, after rehab and at 30, came to terms with everything... ((hugs))

    it was very well written.



    I wish I could believe that everything happens for a reason.



    I seem to cry all the time when I am alone now and I never used to either.



    I should be happy but I am scared instead.

    Exactly...

    passionately and with abandon...

    I live life to the fullest and try to find

    joy in the smallest of things.. From the

    beauty of a sunset that I have to pull

    to the side of the rode to admire,

    to the hawk i saw flying today.. Those

    small things make me happy and

    glad to be here.. xxx dedre

    Forgot who said it...

    "Whatever doesn't kill you, only brings you that much closer to death."

    But I like better:

    "Whatever doesn't kill you, only makes you stranger"

    Not quite so cynical, and really truthful in a tonge-in-cheek kinda way!

    Besides, if you're gonna live, live passionately!
