 I just wanted to share something that I thought was absolutely one of the most beautiful things I have ever witnessed. Today I was walking to my van after taking my daughter to school and heard a strange noise. I looked up and it was the wind blowing in the trees. However, it was a different sound cuz it was like a windchime! It was the wind blowing the ice-covered limbs together. It was almost like a song was being played just for me...very beautiful! Just what I needed to lift my spirits.

How about everyone else? Have you seen any beauty around you? Let's share....

 Now I LOVE this thread coolmamma

I was driving down a back road here in my town.. and I was stuck... kept trying to figure out WHY I was waiting... well the trash man had gone UP to a womans house got her trash then put her trash can back - when I drove by, I saw a little very old lady standing in her door way smiling and waving goodby to them. It was beautiful.

Things turn out best for the people who make the best of the way things turn out.

 Over christmas time when I was cashiering at Walmart a young couple came through my line. They were being very careful because they only had $70.00. we had to keep hitting subtotal. They had to have been only about 18 or 19 and she was at least 8 months pregnant. we finished the order and just made it under $70.00. the lady in line behind them looked at me and said"I got it" and turned to them and said "Merry Christmas" I still get goose bumps when I tell this story. I cried and hugged the customer the couple cried and hugged her too
