As I was researching topics for this post, I came across the word "eunoia," which is pronounced "u-`noy-ă." Eunoia is a noun and is defined as beautiful thinking or a well mind. I was not familiar with this word, but eunoia is certainly something I thrive for.

I also believe eunoia can be achieved by finding time to immerse in one's passions, such as the visual arts, music, literature, cooking, or exercising.

Last, but not least, I believe eunoia can be achieved by being able to find beauty in our surroundings, no matter how insignificant these may appear. Where or how do you find eunoia?
I want to thank all my followers and everyone that took the time to leave a comment. By the way, I found out that I lost several of my followers due to some changes by Google's Friend Connect, so please accept my apologies. I also found out that there is supposed to be a Google cookies notice on my blog, but I'm not sure it's showing or if it's something I need to set. If you have any information, please let me know. Happy Valentine's Day!

Wishing you a wonderful week ~ ^_^
Beautiful artwork as always and I too lost some followers.
I was really upset thinking that I may have offended them, but couldn't think why. I'd written nothing offense as far as I could remember. I then thought that perhaps it was because I've moved more into my art for my posts... but I didn't realise it was Goggle's doing.
I think it might have been nice to have had some notice.
Have a wonderful Valentine's Day and blessings to you and yours :D

i think you are right in what you say about thriving to live up to that word... maybe not doing exactly what you say but just... trying to do the best one can in the way he wants to make the best of every moment and not only for himself but also every other living creature around him.
Having faith is a blessing wich sadly enough lots of people don't have.
be and stay blessed!
have a nice abc-day / - week

I always like the way you make a styled photo of your art, presenting it with other items, like the Chinese Valentine's cookies with the white buttons. That's clever using crosswords with your scraps piece.
Great art, great word and a great blogpost.
