Monday Moods: A Feisty New Year

 

You Are So Beautiful - Just The Way You Are

We Must Love Ourselves - First 

Be True To Thine Own Self

We waste so much time thinking about what others think of us, when in reality, most of the time, others barely notice we exist.  I saw a television commercial with Marie Osmond the other day, she is about my age, and honestly there is so much plastic in her face that she looks like an artificial flower. Her face is pulled so tight, that when she blinks her eyes, her toes curl up. She is trying so hard to look young, that she does not look like the beautiful person she could have aged into.   

Vanity is such a waste of time and energy.  You are so beautiful, just the way you are.  Don't worry about what other might think.  Be yourself, be comfortable. 

When you love yourself, for who you are, you don't need to try to alter yourself, hoping that others will love you.  In other words, unnecessary cosmetic surgery,  or overly done makeup is a sign of self hatred. Love yourself for who you are. 

For the first half of my life, I tried hard to be someone I was not.  I even married a woman, it was what was expected.  Maybe it would change me. All it did was make two people unhappy.  I was not being true to myself, I didn't love who I was, making it hard for me to love someone else, or for someone to love me. I learned to be true to myself, to live my life as I am.  To judge my life, rather than letting others judge me.  Most of them barely notice anyway. 

So wear the crop top. Take a cruise instead of having plastic surgery. Be comfortable in your own skin.  Be true to yourself. Be happy.  Happy people are always more fun to be around.
