Put Yourself in the Way of Beauty

I saw this movie called Wild the other day.  Wow!  It was such a good movie.  It was rated R so you can’t see it.  But here’s a clip that you can watch. Basically, it’s about this woman named Cheryl whose mother died and then she gets divorced.  Cheryl decides to hike 1,000 miles across the Pacific Crest Trail (some of it is near our neck of the woods). In this scene, she’s sitting with a fellow lady hiker talking about why they chose to do such a crazy walk.  Cheryl quotes her mom saying that you have to “put yourself in the way of beauty.”  In other words, every morning and every evening, something beautiful happens IF you stop and take the time to look at it and appreciate it.  You have to put yourself in that place.  No one can do it for you.  Enjoy your next sunrise or sunset.  And remember, to me, you are both just as beautiful as that sunset/sunrise.  Xxoo
