Beauty in the Ordinary
This is not about being brilliant, or extraordinary, it's not about wanting to be famous, or making headlines, or trying to impress...this about sharing a 'gift' each day with the world...to lift the spirit of people when they read this blog, to show them the beauty in the ordinary.
"And above all, watch with glittering eyes the whole world around you because the greatest secrets are always hidden in the most unlikely places. Those who don't believe in magic will never find it." Raold Dahl

DeleteSo right Jacqueline...the more the better! Thank you for your words of encouragement these pasts week...always nice to hear from someone who can relate. :) xx
ReplyDeleteAnd there you are Jeanne in south-east Asia where you can wear as much sparkle as you choose because the natives will think you, as a farang (that's what the Thais called us foreigners, not sure what the Vietnamese word is) are exotic and strange anyway. Go for it I say!
ReplyDeleteHope you are beginning to settle in.
Love all the sparkles and I totally agree!
ReplyDeleteEnjoy the start to a new week!
