A friend of mine posted this picture a while back, and I saved it because it captivated me. It’s clever, it’s funny and it’s beautiful.
It reminds me of the last time I was in Germany. I regularly saw huge paintings like this on the side of buildings. In a country in which the skies are often grey, things like this can really lift your spirits.
We live in a world that can so often become monotonous. Sometimes it feels like all we do is eat, sleep, work and commute. The cares of this world can weigh us down, and the never-ending power lines, roads, skyscrapers and reams of paper can prevail in sapping the beauty out of life.
But the beauty is still there.
I encourage you, as you go through your day, to look for something beautiful; it can be found in the strangest of places.
What beauty have you seen today?

I saw beauty in the blue sky today. And I also saw beauty in my white painted walls. But when skies are grey it is hard to see beauty. On those days I guess we have to look deeper or more intently.
I agree Stephen, it’s harder on the gray days, but then sometimes it’s more special to find something beautiful in the midst of the gray.
Yes, I agree. Anything you have to seek hard and long to find, the rewards are greater.
