Don’t Stop to Smell the Roses

Zest, self-regulation, hope,
Spirituality, and
Gratitude all correlate

With health, across continents,
One-hundred sixty countries,
Sixty thousand respondents.

Of all the character strengths,
The one unfavorably
Associated with health

Was the appreciation
Of beauty. Carry on then.
Be grateful for zest and hope

And spirituality!
Let others rot for beauty.
