Day 5 - I am beautiful !

Prompt
Prompt DAY 5
I am beautiful no matter what they say"
Christine Aguilera
Lets get up close and personal.
How do you feel about the person you are, inside and out?

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. We certainly hear that alot but it doesn't always make us feel better about ourselves does it?!!

Me I am not the beauty is only skin deep kind - I'm VAIN there I have told the world!! Alot of that comes from the hangups I have, the way that I percieve myself. I look in the mirror ALOT, l spend ALOT on beauty products.

Having said that the older I get, with all the more imperfections that I see, the easier it is for me to make excuses for it and funny enough the easier it is to accept me for me. Other issues in LIFE take over and BEAUTY although still in the front of mind ( I did say I was vain or was that insecure? ) does get pushed sideways.

I have two pretty daughters , two gorgeous sisters and a beautiful mother. Just by seeing them it reminds me of where I come from and where I am going to - maybe there is more to the eye of the beholder & skin deep adages. Perhaps when I reach my 40s ( in 2yrs ) I can see beauty in me too.
