Beauty is personal, unique to each of us. For "Something Beautiful Day" I'd like to submit a pic of my French Brittany. I don't think there is anything as beautiful as a dog locked up on point, especially one you trained yourself from a pup. I lost a covey of quail taking this picture, and though it's slightly out of focus, I love it.

Good morning Col. Mikel Burroughs and all the rest of my RP Family. Here’s wishing you a beautiful and blessed New week. I am going to do something a bit different today. I am going to share the lyrics to the song “Something Beautiful “ by Stephen Curtis Chapman. Enjoy and have a blessed day today and always.
Something Beautiful
I see you sitting over there with your head in your hands
And the mess life's made of your best laid plans
You really want to shake your fist
But you don't know who to blame
Well, you can blame yourself or the man upstairs
Or the guy on the screen who says he cares
But all the shame and the blame won't change a thing
What's done is done
But grace has just begun
And God says
I'm gonna turn it into something different
I'm gonna turn it into something good
I'm gonna take all the broken pieces
And make something beautiful like only I could
So put it all in the hands of the Father
Give it up, give it all over to
The only One who can turn it into
Something beautiful
Something really beautiful
We know the world got broke when it took the fall
And here we are living in the middle of it all
Longing, waiting for the day when everything's restored
But the best of the beauty that we get to SEE
While we're living down here in this “yet to be”
Is to watch God take the most broken things
And to hear Him say
“When I get through, you're gonna be amazed”
‘Cause I'm gonna turn it into something different
I'm gonna turn it into something good
I'm gonna take all the broken pieces
And make something beautiful like only I could
So put it all in the hands of the Father
Give it up, give it all over to
The only One who can turn it into
Something beautiful
Something beautiful
Something beautiful
Put all the pieces in His hands
And watch Him turn it into something beautiful
God's gonna turn it into something different
He's gonna turn it into something good
He's gonna take all the broken pieces
And make something beautiful like only He could
So put it all in the hands of the Father
Give it up, give it all over to
The only One who can turn it into
Something beautiful
Something really beautiful
Something beautiful
Something really beautiful
