Some Random Thoughts About Beauty That Have Nothing to Do With Hair & Makeup
Wednesday June 10, 2009
Since my site is about beauty, I usually focus on hair, skin and makeup. But recently, I've been struck by so many beautiful things that have nothing to do with our looks. I want to share them with you. Here's what I found beautiful this week:
1. Ken Cary, 70, is losing his eyesight and his hearing but is taking life by storm. Instead of sitting in a chair and awaiting his fate, he's taken on a job -- answering phones! -- and he's learned to golf blind and give speeches, which always scared him. He's jumped out of a plane 3 times in the last year. (Read about him here). That's beauty.
2. When I see a dad eagerly taking on roles in his home that his father and grandfather never dreamed of -- that's beauty.
3. People who rescue animals no one else wants, like my good friend Laura, who spends so much energy trying to find homes for loveable pit bulls. That's beauty.
4. My friend Kat, who travels a long distance every week to sit by the bedside of a lung transplant patient who's family is "too busy" to take care of her. That's beauty.
5. My Vipp trash can, which was hand designed for a beauty parlor in the 50s. That's beauty.
