Everybody Needs Beauty

– Posted in: Connect to Joy

“Everybody needs beauty as well as bread, places to play in, where nature may heal and give strength to body and soul.” – John Muir

 My place of beauty is Glen Lake and the Sleeping Bear Sand Dunes area located west of Traverse City, Michigan. My family has been spending summers on Glen Lake for over 80 years. Five generations have fallen in love with this special place. It is my place of rejuvenation.

Everybody needs beautiful places wherein to play and to rest. Those places where both body and soul find rest.

Spring has returned. It’s time to go outside and seek out your place of beauty.

Be at rest. Close your eyes. Banish those stressful thoughts.

Feel the warmth of the sun on your face. Feel the gentle breeze.

Hear the chirping of the birds. Breathe in the sweetness of clean fresh air.

Accept this gift of our Creator…. Rejuvenate.
