GBE Reincarnated, Topic #5: BEAUTY

This weeks subject is Beauty. 

Merriam-Webster's defines Beauty as: 

1 : the quality or aggregate of qualities in a person or thing that gives pleasure to the senses or pleasurably exalts the mind or spirit : loveliness 

• a woman of great physical beauty 
• exploring the natural beauty of the island 
• A thing of beauty is a joy forever. John Keats 

 2 : a beautiful person or thing 

• His new car's a real beauty. 
• especially : a beautiful woman 
• She was a great beauty in her day. 

3 : a particularly graceful, ornamental, or excellent quality 

• Well, at any rate, he had two great beauties—the pale flat white of his skin and his great shaggy mass of dark hair.— Dorothy C. Fisher 

4 : a brilliant, extreme, or egregious example or instance 

• caught a couple of beauties on our last fishing trip 
• that mistake was a beauty

In my opinion, beauty is not on the outside, but inner beauty is what I find most attractive. 

 And now some pics and quotes on Beauty...

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

What Was My Motivation When Joining The GBE, And What Did I Hope To Get Out Of It?

The prompt was "WHAT WAS YOUR MOTIVATION IN JOINING THE GROUP, AND WHAT DO YOU HOPE TO GET OUT OF IT?"

It all goes back to a few days before Friday, July 4, 2008 and my first blog for the GBE - Independence - GBE 44.

I had been an avid reader of the blogs and I sometimes commented on certain ones, OKAY... so I was a lurker. lol.

A couple of bloggers both gently urged me to join in; to go ahead and blog.

I was SOOOO nervous hitting that POST button, but it was worth it. I had hoped to find a sense of community and I did. I met so many people in GBE #1 that I continued to have friendships with after the mass migration.

As for my motivations, I have lost touch with them. C'est la vie.
