Day 122 – Hello Beautiful

After a bizarre and fairly tense morning followed by a busy and hectic afternoon – I was in desperate need of a little “retail therapy” later in my day. Other than the mall...I just love stores like TJ Maxx, Marshalls, Homegoods and sometimes Ross. They offer such a wide variety of items and it’s nice to just kind of meander through looking at a little of this and a little of that- clothes, jewelry, shoes, perfume, purses and a multitude of household items, etc.

So, I found myself wandering around just enjoying my time. I stumbled on a shirt that got me thinking so I just had to get it for my intention today. I got a few other items but this was the buy of the day for sure. It is the cutest little tank top that simply states “Hello Beautiful”. Although it may be intended to be directed at the person wearing it, or people walking past the person wearing it- I looked at it from a different angle. I see it as an exclamation and declaration to this beautiful world. Hello beautiful!  Beautiful ocean, beautiful flowers, beautiful mountains, beautiful trees, beautiful clouds, beautiful sunrise and sunset. No matter where you live, there is something beautiful this world offers. My hope is that anyone reading this stops for a moment and thinks of the beauty that surrounds them and simply smiles in appreciation.

I see each and every day as valuable and precious. When I wear this shirt, this will be what I am representing. I see it as a nod to the beauty surrounding me and my true appreciation of my blessed life! #missingHGAL
