Joyful Ruins

Discovering joy in the hard places


Choosing Beauty

I want to spread beauty everywhere

Not because I am beautiful

though I may be

but because

I see beauty

in nearly everything

It is a gift

I will say

to see beauty

in the beast

or to notice

the treasures

in the dirt

but it’s also

a choice I make

I choose beauty

because it gives me strength

makes me thankful

moves my heart

and gives me hope

About Me

An obsessive journaler who loves meeting others along their journey and giving them a hand to hold through pieces of writing. I write about the heartbreaks of life and the joys, the ups and downs, and I often learn my greatest lessons and miracles from nature.
