For the beautiful people...



The most beautiful people we have known are those who have known defeat, known suffering, known struggle, known loss, and have found their way out of the depths. These persons have an appreciation, a sensitivity and an understanding of life that fills them with compassions, gentleness, and a deep loving concern. Beautiful people do not just happen.



~Elizabeth Kubler Ross



*Haven't been posting of late, we've had colds, ear infections and things like that here but I'll return soon. Thank you dear Steve E for your concern :)

"Beautiful people do not just happen"--E.K. Ross

And, like Elizabeth, I believe they are not just 'born' that way. Many have been to hell and have returned to a heretofore unknown and unheard-of heaven-on-earth, even midst the chaotic (whirling dervishes!?) problems of living, which all experience.

AND...those "beautiful people" have been touched by God, and received that touch with gratitude.

This is what I believe.

And, Calli, YOU are one of those "beautiful people".

Glad you're OK!

Sorry to hear you've not been well.

I like this quote. I think there's no one more beautiful than someone who has earned her lines.

Love Kubler Ross.. there is more beauty in a woman who has lived, loved, lost, grieved than you will ever find on the french cat walks...

Sorry your sick ...Lemon juice and honey... oh and lots of garlic
