THURSDAY THOUGHTS - There Is Just Something About Them...

Have you ever seen someone walk by who has great style? Someone who catches your attention because of the way they carry themselves? Their body language exudes confidence without arrogance. There is just something about them that stands out. It is more than the way they are dressed, although they may be dressed very well. They just make you feel good to be in their presence. I know such a person. She is 90 years old, yet doesn't look a day over 70. I know enough to know that she is quite well off financially, but that is not why she amazes me. To look at her now you would never imagine all of the tragedy and heartbreak she has known. I know because I am writing her history and the more I write, the more I am amazed.

While reading one day I cam across a quote by Zane Grey that I absolutely loved regarding style:

1)To bear up under loss (even when it's a loved one).

2)To fight the bitterness of defeat and the weakness of grief (especially when it happens at home).

3)To be victor over anger (especially with our loved ones).

4)To smile when tears are close (and after they come).

5)To resist evil and base instincts (even teenagers can pull it off).

6)To hate hate and love love (especially when it concerns family members).

7)To go on when it would seem good to die (some of us can understand that one).

8)To seek after the glory and the dream (especially as we get older).

9)To look up with unquenchable faith (it can be done).

Style such as this takes practice, effort, time and a certain degree of struggle, but I feel it is worth the effort. And the most incredible part is that style like this never goes out of style!
