Beauty noun \ˈbyü-tē\: the quality or aggregate of qualities in a person or thing that gives pleasure to the senses or pleasurably exalts the mind or spirit.
For the past week I have been reflecting a lot about what beauty means to me. I think that beauty is not only physical although that can be part of it. I think that every single decision and word we say can make us beautiful or not. I also believe that you can be more beautiful by loving and showing kindness to others. I can honestly say that there isn't a single person who was kind, compassionate and honest that I didn't think was gorgeous. For the past month I have been trying to be beautiful every day. Mostly by straightening my hair, doing my makeup and wearing cute clothes, but I am realizing that I forgot about that other side of beauty. I keep forgetting that a truly beautiful woman is kind, compassionate and nurturing. It is amazing to me that we can get so caught up in the physical side of beauty that we forget that a smile is more beautiful than a frown and a kind word is more beautiful than an insult. I am still working on being more beautiful and being what God wants me to be but I hope that we can all keep in mind that there are two parts to love and beauty and you can't have one without the other. Love ya'll!
