Beautiful Things

I am in the mood to mention things, acts and people who I see as beautiful. So here’s my list. If I offend anyone, oh well. This is an exercise in positive thinking.

1. Straight and Gay Love and hopefully marriage!

2. Going to a museum with my Mom and Carmen (my sister). We hugged and kissed today during our outing.

3. Seeing Black, White, Hispanic, Arab, Asian and many other beautiful Americans together at the Democratic National Convention.

4. Art, literature, and the free flow of ideas.

5. A young family laughing and smiling.

6. Polite manners – they count each and every time!

7. Making silly faces with a child.

8. An elderly couple holding hands tenderly.

9. Unflinching bravery in the face of your own demise.

10. The protection and fostering of humanity, kindness, empathy and love.
