Be The Pretty

---

A woman at the post office…

Had the most beautiful skin…couldn’t stop staring…it was flawless…like she was a filtered photo…stepped out of the phone…wanted to comment…ask her secret…it was makeup…a magic makeup…but she headed out…before curious me…could make things awkward…

Had been questioning the old gal makeup choice…the lighting in the cabin…just a little too good…noticed the color match of foundation off…ridiculously off…tried a different brand…a lighter shade…but the liquid…settled in the old lady creases…creating this old gal’s filtered version…of a puppet…

And then there it was…an ad on TV…said that one line…and the angels sang…this makeup…doesn’t get caught…in your marionette lines..Laura Geller…heard the pleas…was speaking right to Howdy Doody me…ordered the stuff lickety split…and love it…it’s just enough to give an old gal confidence…to help make her…feel pretty…

And isn’t that what we all need some days…a little dose of pretty…it’s out there…in a compliment…a smile…a kind word…

We all can do it…share it…make it happen…just get out there…and be…the pretty…

And this husband of mine…agrees…
