Putting Beautiful Things on Display
If you have been reading the blog long then you understand my need or desire for beautiful things. I share that necessity constantly on the blog. I also feel like having beautiful things on display to look at or to enjoy can bring about great pleasure in life. I always have something beautiful on display. Whether I am in the car, home or work I always have some thing beautiful to gaze at…..
In my home office, a soft throw on my piano seat….
In my work office, my coat and scarf hanging with the brooch facing me so that I can see it sparkle….
Blue and white hanging in my office….
Faux flowers in my home office above my computer….
A vignette in the bedroom….
The dresser in our bedroom….
Flowers in the kitchen….
Flowers in the kitchen again…. this is a weekly occurrence.
Weekly flower shopping. That should look beautiful in your car.
And last but certainly not least my car freshener. Even that should be lovely….
I am not saying that you should do these things but live your life according to whatever beauty is for you. People get these weird ideas that they have to mimic someone else’s life. That is not true and if you are doing that you won’t be happy. You won’t be at all. I had someone recently ask me if I do all this to impress people. I said, “Certainly not!” I could care less what people think because they reality is you are going to talk about me anyway I mind as well live my life beautifully.
And so I do and sometimes that just bugs them more. Ahh, oh well. It’s funny sometimes. It funny how people want you to stop. But I realize it is because the light is just too bright for them. So they want to dim it. Well, I won’t. I will continue. I must…..
Display beauty…… whatever you are.
