Mirror May: What do you see?

Mirror Mirror on the wall...

Do we see the same things at all?

I've always been amazed at the concept of looking into the mirror and seeing the truth. I've always heard "Mirrors never lie" While that may true... when we look in the mirror we see whats worst about ourselves. Just a few days ago I had an extremely cute outfit on, no makeup on, and my hair was up. My mother and grandmother both told me how beautiful I was...instead of responding I looked straight ahead into the mirror... My mouth dropped open and I responded with "Oh no, thank you but... My face is SO blotchy!"

Couldn't a simple thank you work? Apparently not. I realized later that they were right, I AM beautiful, imperfections and all...but my goodness, I don't have to point out my imperfections because the thing is... with the help of mirrors we're often our own worst critics.

The next time you look in the mirror, say 5 things you like about yourself, and if you can't find something on the outside (lets face it, some days we just cant) name things on the inside.

What do you see when you look at yourself?

My 5 things today are:

My smile, I LOVE my smile.
My eyes, sometimes they annoy me but I love when they are a deep dark brown
My butterfly tank top, I have GREAT taste in clothes ;)
My goofy facial expressions because it shows how silly I am
The fact that I'm covered in paint after painting the swing that my mother didn't ask me to paint, I just did it to help out.

What do I see when I look at myself? Someone that has a heart to help others see their own worth, and someone who works daily to see her own worth.

It's a journey, we've got societies view of beauty against us, we don't need the added pressure of seeing ourselves negatively in a mirror....

"Mirror Mirror on the wall,

Do we see the same things at all?"

"I look on the outside, it's all I can see,

Sometimes you cannot just rely on me.

Tell me the things you like about yourself the most...

Perhaps you and I both...can focus on those."

You are loved, beautiful, amazing, awesome, and just a cool cat! Don't forget it ;)
