Part 23 0f 365. Grace in small things.

1. Here is one of my favorite works from the Art Institute. Van Gough's Blue Room. Beautiful - no?

I have a fairly poor visual memory, so revisiting my favorite works via our photographs is especially great.

Strange how 'A thing of beauty is a joy forever' (and I hated that poem in school!) But it's so true. Even the memory of beauty is a joy.

My friends are beautiful inside - it's a matter of attitude, warmth and kindness - and out.

They make me feel appreciated...and... well... beautiful too.
