Why I am here in the first place?


Beauty is defined as: the quality or aggregate of qualities in a person or thing that gives pleasure to the senses or pleasurably exalts the mind or spirit

Its absolutely incomprehensible in the fact that you can find beauty in almost everything, even things that others wouldn't find beautiful. Even in our outdoors, anyone can look at a beach and call it beautiful, but when you are stuck in the middle of Nevada- everyone calls it dull and boring (like some feel about rexburg..). Its truly a shame, because there is beauty everyone and everything.

When I look at this definition, the worlds definition of beauty and lets say a child with a disabilities view of beauty they tend to be completely different. You can open any magazine these days and see millions of ads for changing your body by dieting or the fact that losing weight is one of the three most popular new years resolutions.

But in the mind of a child of an autistic child, or down syndrome almost any child with a disability, they will tell you that any one is beautiful. Every time I go into a school with children like this (which is everyday :)) I have never felt more beautiful. They don't see the sizes that we see, they don't focus on what we do.

Its amazing what you can learn from them :)
