BEAUTIFUL MONDAYS

Mondays can be such a drain.

This is for anyone who happens to stumble across it. But this is especially for my lovely OKC friends, I think you know who you are; you are in Scotland and Italy, Louisiana and North Carolina, Missouri and New York, Australia and London, Norwich and Florida, Cambridge and Kent and a few other places in between.

So, why not try to find a little beauty in each day.
Maybe we should share our occasional beauties with each other. I was talking with a good friend last night and for the second time recently we lamented a change of mood in these journals. Then we started talking about Easter Island. Our conversations go like that. However, I continued thinking about the things we miss. There seems to be less joy. I’d like to offer a little anecdote.

Yesterday, I went to Tate Britain and saw the photography exhibition,
How We Are: Photographing Britain
. It was the last day to see it. I enjoyed myself despite the crowd.
How We Are Now
is the companion online exhibition. Upon leaving the museum, I was surprised to see some beautiful flowerbeds in the museum’s outdoor patio/courtyard area. And one charming little surprise (at the end). What I saw inspired this post.

Beauty is in the eye (ears, nose, tongue, and touch) of the beholder, so tell me, what beauty have you “beheld” lately?

I have a growing fascination with bees (and honeys). This one was quite busy, beautiful, and content.

Beauty takes many forms.
