I just want to say, today, I hope that YOU, dear reader, have a really happy, incredible and amazing day. I hope something happens that knocks your socks off.
And I want to be the first to tell you…

...

You look beautiful today.

Just spreading a smile. :-D

Hi Rachel,
My socks were knocked of indeed by your saying that I look beautiful today. Those weren’t exactly the words that came to mind this morning when I looked at myself in the mirror…. Thanks so much for making me smile! Just what I needed today.

p.s. I really like the rainbow of colours in “your eye”!!

Thanks Rachel what a wonderful way to start the day, it made me feel good about myself.  Thanks again.,

Jo-Anne

Hi, Rachel:  Thanks also from me!  Fortunately, we don’t have cameras in our computers so you can’t see that I’m only average.  (No one has ever told me I’m beautiful before, although I remember just one weekend back in the ‘80s when I looked pretty good.    )  But I think I understand your message, that we are all beautiful on the inside!!  Let me respond by saying that you are beautiful, too, especially for sharing your very uplifting comment with us.  Have a wonderful day yourself!  c.

Cindy,

Beauty doesn’t tend to be show-stopping. But a warm heart and a genuine smile are more attractive than any supermodel stance!

And just to add, although I’m not sure if there ARE any on this site - guys are beautiful too, this was not just aimed at the women! Your friendship and love for complete strangers amaze me.

Jo-Anne, you’re more than welcome. Kaja, keep smiling!

HomegirlofJezu ! Thank you so much for those lovely words of yours! You really can give much joy to all here ! It is almost evening here in cold Finland but with your lovely thoughts I can feel warm the whole night!
And all us are beautiful inside by knowing God and feeling His love
and every day getting close to Him until we all would meet Him
in His mercy and love.
Still have to say I love to listen the “Harmony” and more I listen-more
I like it, as you all know:)
Have a nice time and spread love everywhere you go !

Dear Homegirl ,
thank you for your wish ... really a good way to begin our day ...
I agree with the words of Heljia but I want only add one thing ...
I think that the beauty is in the eyes of the beholder therefore we are all beautiful everyone in his own way ...
Have a nice evening ,
Euterpe

Thank you for that thought Homegirl , which can brighten any dreary January day. May I reply with words from this Hymn which I love (from the Psalter ) and which may help us become a little bit ” more beautiful ” every day and which reminds me so much of the Fathers when they sing ” Bi Iosa Im Chroise ”

Christ be near at every hand,
Christ behind, before me stand,
Christ with me where’er I go,
Christ around, above, below.

Christ be in my heart and mind,
Christ within my heart enshrined,
Christ control my wayward heart ;
Christ abide and ne’er depart.

Christ my life and only way,
Christ my lantern night and day;
Christ be my unchanging friend ,
Guide and shepherd to the end.

Have all of you a good day !

Thanks Alix for this beautiful (quite an appropriate phrase in this thread…LOL) hymn!

And I wish we let everybody be individuals, own persons without judging anyone.
I hope we listen different opinions, different religions, we respect different works, not only high education ones.
I hope we respect old ones, children, sick ones, unimployment ones, poor ones, rich ones.
Every human is beautiful if only we look deep inside him/her
and get known what kind of live there has been before.
If you have had happy childhood, there is people who dont,
if you have enough food, there is people who dont,
if you are loved, there is people who are not, if you have friends,
there are people who have not,
if you can love-there is people who cant -for some reason!
You and me could be just anyone of these people who are in my writing…
Think carefully next time when meeting someone you dont “understand”.
