Note: There is no special occasion for releasing this challenge. But I really wanted to… so there.
I was sitting in the computer chair, and having seen the word beautiful in a story, I can’t remember which, I leaned back from my keyboard and went into a state of deep thought.
What is the definition of beautiful?
Yes, of course, I looked it up in the dictionary after thinking about it exstensively. Here’s what it said:

1. having beauty; having qualities that give great pleasure or satisfaction to see, hear, think about, etc.; delighting the senses or mind
2. excellent of its kind
3. wonderful; very pleasing or satisfying

How often do we use the word beautiful, and do we really think about it?
That is a beautiful picture. What a beautiful girl. I use it often enough, but suddenly the word is strange.
I wondered if in the future there would be a set definiton of beautiful. I pray that this won’t be. For this challenge, I want to you to write about what beautiful is.
Interpret it however you like.

    Nice, thoughtful challenge with some content to go off of, but enough latitude to make it one’s own.

    hmmm. It’s such an over-used word. There must be at least one meaning rattling around in my head. Maybe I could write about it and that would be beautiful.
