You Are Beautiful

---

That daughter and I…

Watching that pageant video…started talking…about beauty…

The pressures of social media…that cookie cutter look that for so many…is a make it or break it…in being considered pretty…

Anyone can have that look…came a typical comment from an old gal mom…the hair extensions…lip shots…Botox…makeup…whatever they do to their eyebrows these days…

But is that…what really…makes one beautiful…you can look perfect…and still…be the ugliest person on the planet…

Because beauty…comes from within…resonates…through personality…humor…actions…caring…compassion…

And beauty comes…from loving…loving others…loving yourself…and loving…what makes…you…you…

That baby of mine…looking at scrapbooks…a favorite thing of hers…came across a photo…in her baby book…

I’ve always loved that picture of you…she says…I think you look so pretty…and everyone says I look like you…sooo…I guess…
​
Yes my darling…your mother…agrees…
