Snoopy's World

I like my nose, my eyes and my feet--wierd, I know, but I have very unusual toes--Clark toes, we call them; they run in the family on my dad's side and I am very fond of them. I like feet. I told this lady at a swim meet last Saturday she had very pretty feet.

The bad? My double chin ( I could weigh 70 pounds and I'd STILL have this double chin, again, it's a Clark thing), my poochy belly, (see prior comments) and my frizzy, coarse hair.
Like you, I've been told I was attractive--I won some Belinda Carlisle look alike contests back in the 80s..but I just don't see it. I semm mainly my flaws other than my accents. Maybe that's just girls, maybe that's humility.

We did this one time in our church. There was a bible study and the focus was on our beauty, letting our light shine. Well, as an experiment we had to each tell the person next to us complimentary things about them. Every person in the room (men and women) refused the compliment that was exchanged. Seriously, how many times has someone said to you, "You have such beautiful hair." Well, first thing you know human nature kicks in and we are doing our best to dismiss the compliment.

Moral and lesson we learned that day - Acceptance of ourselves. See the beauty that others see in us. Thank them for seeing it!

Have you ever looked at a still photo of someone and made an opionin about what they look like?

Then, you either see video of them or you meet them - and get to witness their personality? They can look completely different! I believe personality can make or break you regarding looks!

Even the most beautiful person (physically) can become very unattractive with a sour personality.... and exactly vice-versa...

Randy, you are one of the angels. I can tell you from a patient's perspective how thankful I've been when, at my absolute worst and ugliest moments, a nurse was kind to me and didn't seem to notice how ugly I felt at the time. Giving a patient your grace when they feel they have none of their own is a beautiful heart and angelic soul.

You're right Sassy, it is very hard for me to accept a compliment, even though I was taught that dismissing one is rude. If someone tells you that they like your dress, say thank you. If instead you say "what? this old thing?" you are actually insulting the other person's opinions and taste. Trying to keep that in mind has helped me to accept a few compliments over the years. :)

We are beautifully and wonderfully made! When I look in the mirror, I still see myself the way I did BEFORE I lost weight-AND when I was overweight, I saw myself as 110lbs. LOL! GO figure! BUT-all in all, Ken is the only one that has to be happy with the way I look-he loves me no matter what-if I'm skinny, overweight, no make up, make up-doesn't matter!! I could be bald and have no teeth and he'd still call me beautiful!! Gosh-he makes me feel so good!! TODAY is his BIRTHDAY TOO!!
