"When asked to reveal her beauty secrets, actress Audrey Hepburn wrote this poem, which was read at her funeral:
1. "To have attractive lips, say kind words.
2. To have beautiful eyes, look at what people have beautiful in them.
3. To stay thin, share the meal with those who are hungry.
4. To have beautiful hair, let a child run his hand through your hair every day.
5. To have a good expectation, to go knowing that you are never alone, but together with those who love you and have loved you. People, even more than objects, must be repaired, pampered, revived, reclaimed and saved: never reject anyone. Think about it:
5. If you ever need a helping hand, you'll find one at the end of every arm. As you grow older, you will realize that you have two hands, one to help yourself, the other to help those who need it.
6. A woman's beauty is not in the clothes she wears, her face or the way she does her hair. The beauty of a woman is seen in her eyes, because they are the open door to her heart, the source of her love. The beauty of a woman is not in her makeup, but in the true beauty of her soul. It is the tenderness it gives, the love, the passion it expresses. A woman's beauty develops with the years."
She was born on May 4, 1929 (d. 1993)" Source: Gabriela Manescu
- Everything has beauty, but not everyone sees it. ...
- The beauty of a woman is not in a facial mode but the true beauty in a woman is reflected in her soul. ...
- Never lose an opportunity of seeing anything beautiful, for beauty is God's handwriting. ..
- Beauty is power; a smile is its sword.
Lastly, I attended, Jeff's Wessman 2nd Lecture on Awakening Joy for Seniors last night. It was great but what stuck in my mind is the Serenity Prayer that I am reposting for you today.
God, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, courage to change the things I can, and wisdom to know the difference.
When Jeff asked the audience of things we do that gave us joy, I blurted Writing Daily via my blogs. I was not surprised that Making a journal was listed as one of the things one can do to give us joy in the Moment!
