Finding Beauty

Before I start, I would like to thank you for reading my blogs. Also, I would like to thank you for retweeting and updating your Facebook status with my quote from yesterday’s blog, I stopped and smelled the flowers!, which read “appreciate what life has to offer more often as it’s a gift with an expiry date”. I had no idea that so many would like this quote. What an honour!!!

Many of you had asked about the pictures. Others wanted to know where I went and what kind of camera I used.

Well, I have a confession to make; those pictures were taken with my BlackBerry’s 2.0 megapixle camera. The beautiful sceneries are not from any exotic location.

Which brings me to the point of my story: We’re surrounded by beauty no matter where we look. Some places may require us to look a bit harder than usual; beauty is there, I promise!

Thank you for reading,

Armin

PS. May you be lucky enough to find peace and beauty in and around you at every turn.
