Beauty is in the eye of the beholder

It can be easy to be negative and see only the ugliness, both the physical and spiritual that are so prevalent here. It's easy to be so overwhelmed with the ugly that you can't see anything else. How very sad that is when that happens.


Beauty, diversity, squalor, all are part of my life here. It just depends where your eye lands and how you interpret things. It takes God's grace every day to remind me to see the beauty in the people and in all it's unexpected forms.

It is good to see beauty in all things. You are a rare one Julee, to be able to continually look for it, even though at first there doesn't appear to be anything beautiful at all. Is that a mosque ceiling - and where is it? There is always something beautiful to see in a father and his daughter.

Yes, it's a mosque ceiling, I believe it's in Kruja. The little mosque by the turkish baths at the bottom of the castle. I'm not sure if you went to it since I stayed down with mom.
