      The Frog's Blog

Hi friends. This blog is a labor of love and I want to continue writing every day for a long time to come. But I need a little help. The fees to maintain this website are getting costly for a little frog. If you enjoy reading my blogs, will you please donate a dollar or two, or whatever you can, to help me keep this site (and blog) up and running? I'm on PayPal at irwinquagmirewart@gmail.com. Thank you!

On being truly beautiful.

Fortunately for all of us, there are still many, kind, and decent humans in the world. You know the people I mean. They're the ones who perform small, and sometimes large acts to help make the life of another a little more beautiful. They give generously of their time and resources in the pursuit of making others happy. Today is Making Life Beautiful Day and it's a day set aside each year to honor these unselfish people and beautiful humans.
​ It is human nature (and many frogs, as well) to make life as pleasant as possible for ourselves and for our families and friends. But when someone goes out of their way to make the life of another more beautiful, that act becomes even more beautiful. Whether that act is picking flowers in your garden and taking the bouquet to an elderly neighbor or to a stranger in the hospital or something far more costly, that is a beautiful act of selflessness. We've all heard the old saying that true beauty is what lies on the inside of us. And today is a celebration of all those people whose inner beauty is beyond compare. "Doing a selfless deed is always liberating. Compassion, love, and care are the positive feelings that a happy and beautiful person possesses. Our brains are designed to get satisfied when we see other people happy. Hence, when we do something to make life beautiful for a person in need, we make them happy. This, in turn, makes us happy. Therefore the person feels liberated and joyful," according to beaninspirer.com. And I believe they've hit the nail on the head.
Making life beautiful for others does mean spending huge amounts of time or money on others. One of the most beautiful acts in the world is simply giving a hug when it is needed most. Preparing a cup of tea for a grieving friend is another beautiful act. Words aren't always required since actions always speak louder than any words.  Others suggesting might include, v
olunteering at a children’s hospital, old age homes, or school. Never forget that you can make an animal’s life beautiful by giving them foster care or by volunteering at a shelter to take care of them. What you'll receive in return will warm your heart and boggle your mind! There's nothing in the world that feels quite as good as helping another, especially when you expect nothing in return.
The smallest of the smallest deed that you do today can mean so much in someone’s life. The act of bringing a little joy into someone's life is the hallmark of a beautiful person. If each of us brought a smile to the face of one person or simply took the time to pet a homeless animal, just think how much more beautiful this beautiful ol' world would be. And the most beautiful part of Making Life Beautiful Day is that each small act of kindness done to another has a ripple effect. So while your individual act may seem small to you, believe me...it is anything but small. Use #MakingLifeBeautifulDay on all your social media to remind everyone to be kind.
Dharma Frog will be here tomorrow and I am sure his lesson will be of benefit to everyone. He's the smartest and wisest one I know. Please plan on stopping by to see what life lesson he has in store for me. Until then, my friend. be kind. And be beautiful.
                                                                         PEACE.
