What do you think are the 5 most beautiful things in the world?
The hardest part about writing this post? Narrowing it down to only five things. There is so much beauty in this world if we just take a moment to look for it. My list comes in no particular order because beauty is beauty and we should appreciate each and every experience. (Sorry, I’ll get off my soapbox now.)
So, here we go.
The first flowers of spring. Flowers are marvelous any time, but there’s something special about flowers after a long winter. Especially when they are peaking out from under the remnants of the past snowfall.
The look on your lover/partner/spouse’s face when you return after an absence, short or long. I hope that sometime in your life you’ve been welcomed with that mix of joy and longing and love all wrapped into one.
A baby’s laughter. Surely one of the most beautiful sounds in the world.
And if you’ve been following my blog for very long, you should have expected this next one. Among the most beautiful things? Snow covered mountain peaks. Doesn’t matter what time of the year. Summer with the sun glinting from high snowbanks or winter with a storm swirling across the range, mountains speak to me. Add a mountain lake and you’ve got something close to paradise.
Last but not least, and I apologize in advance because not everyone can experience it. The wonder of holding your newly-born infant in your arms. Sure, they are wrinkled and red and their head might be misshapen, but that baby, at that moment, is the most beautiful thing ever. And nothing will ever be more beautiful.
That’s my five. I’m looking forward to finding out what beautiful things my fellow authors talk about.
