I overheard some young men discussing girls the other day. It made me laugh and I had to force myself to not interject my wisdom into their discussion.

If you want to find yourself a girlfriend, you need to be looking for someone you want to actually be friends with. Sexual attraction isn’t enough because: Sexual relationships simply don’t last very long when you don’t like hanging out with the person you are having sex with. So, if you are in the market, don’t just look for girls you think are cute, look for the ones whose company you enjoy as well. Good luck.

There is something about the contrast of the light blue sky against the green leaves that I find beautiful. This natural beauty relaxes me. I suppose it’s the same for most people. To be in the moment, experiencing something beautiful is transcendent. Instead of thinking of myself and my needs and my to do list, I am instead contemplating something completely beyond me. Beauty doesn’t need me to exist. It would be there whether I noticed it or not. I feel privileged every time I notice beauty. And that makes making the time to notice it all the more precious and important.
