What defines beauty in your life? Look up the definition. Think about what "beautiful" means to you. Write about it. Whatever it is, be introspective and allow yourself to write from the heart on this one. Write it for YOU, not for your audience.

Go. Write. Be beautiful!

A few things I find beautiful ........

Levi's laugh. He's normally a pretty serious child. He's nearly always a pretty quiet child. So when he laughs out loud, it's rare. And it's not a laugh, it's a giggle. It's the sweetest, funniest sound.

Lane's sense of humor. Well, most of the time. He's so quirky and off-the-wall, it's hard not to be charmed. In fact, I was pretty mad at him the other day and he knew it. He kept joking with me and I kept telling him to stop because I was mad at him and didn't want to laugh at him. It didn't work. I laughed anyway.

A certain guitar riff in the song The Dark from Tran-Siberian Orchestra's Beethoven's Last Night CD. It's so achingly poignant, I want to cry every single time I hear it.

The full moon on a snow-covered landscape.

Laugh lines.

Twilight's (one of our cats) fur. It's so perfectly, evenly black and feels like mink.

Patsy Cline's voice.

Jets.

True friendship.

The first warm breeze in the spring. You know, that first day you're comfortable being outdoors in short sleeves and that sweet, soft breeze across your skin feels more luxuriant than silk.

The boys playing their instruments.

Stephen King's books.
