It snowed again yesterday and there are forecasts for more today. This snow was the biggest so far of this long snow season and has covered almost everything. As I mentioned in my 1/28/14 blog “I Love The Snow”, I find snow calming, but I also find it beautiful. It looks like a white blanket that is perfectly “placed” over whatever is underneath.
Before it gets muddy and mixed with environmental elements, I can spend a long time looking at it and admiring its beauty. Gazing on a thing of beauty, having something beautiful surrounding you or having something beautiful to admire every day can be an important source of positive energy. A beautiful environment or surroundings can enhance your mood and energy. It can be something that you physically have – an aquarium, beautiful flowers or a picture of something beautiful like the picture of a beautifully architected and appointed structure or a picture of a beach with clear blue water. Whatever it is, at least once a day, find a thing of beauty and spend some time getting lost in the beauty and drawing some positive energy.
