‘Beauty is in the eye of the beholder’ so they say which must mean that anything can be beautiful to someone. As the theme for the Gallery this week is ‘Beauty’ I have been wondering what would best represent beauty to me. It turned out to be something very unexpected.
We have recently heard of a dear friend who is waiting for the results of tests to find out if they have cancer. If it is, we are hopeful that the type is one of those that has a high survival rate and treatment that is not too awful.
What it is has done is made us aware of our own mortality. Another phrase often quoted ‘You never know what’s around the corner’ springs to mind. This is where my choice of picture comes in. It is one I have shared before and although it does not represent the miserable, cold morning I’m looking at today, it has reminded me that every morning is beautiful because it gives you another day of life’s experiences and we mustn’t waste them.

Indeed, you never know what’s around the corner – I hope that if your friend has cancer, that its fully treatable – beautiful photo.
You’re right, beauty can be found in the most simple things. Great photograph of morning.
Lovely capture of the sun, mine so often over expose. Well done. Fingers crossed for your friend and a good reminder to appreciate the Now.
Beautiful picture. Sending loads of positive vibes to your friend
Fantastic post, and I love the photo. Hope your friend is OK.
Beautiful indeed! Hope your friend is OK x
Very lovely post! Good wishes to your friend. x
it is never easy to hear someone else’s fears without also experiencing them in us, too. Life is quick. Life is precious. Wishing you well. Wishing wellness to your friend. We all share in this.

Good luck to your friend, I hope they receive the news that they want. Life is short and it’s important to make the most of it. I like your spin on the theme 🙂 x
I sincerely hope that your friend is ok. You’re right that we should view every morning as a gift
Wise words. Lovely photo. Best wishes to your friend.
