I like me.

It's hard to believe that it's been three weeks since I've posted to my blog.  My the time has flown.  I've noticed a few things about myself while I was in my craze to get things done.  Most of all I realize that I like me. 

I think it's natural that as we grow, and become more social creatures, that we realize that there are things about us that we wish were different.  The older we get, the more people we meet, the more realize our flaws in comparison to others.  Then we get to an age where we realize that we are who we are - period.  Thank GOD!!!

As I've interacted with people in a variety of situations over the past few weeks.  I saw myself in way's that I've not noticed before.  I am patient, I am kind, I can be accommodating, I am calm in the face of challenging situations, I am healthy - in spite of being over weight. 
*So what I don't have deep set eyes - I can still see very well without glasses (unless I need to read something), and my eyes are naturally hazel brown. 
*So what I don't have soft curly easy to manage hair - my hair is envied by many just as it is because it's thick, can be worn in countless styles, and grows like a weed - naturally.
*So what I don't have a six figure income - I'm living my dream life on purpose everyday.

This list could go on and on.  Bottom line for me is:  Seeing myself the way I am/ the way I was created has opened my eyes to many of the blessings of me being me.  I'm sure it will be a wonderfully welcome eye opener for you to.  Give it a try.  Take a few moments to take notice of yourself as you go about your daily task.  What wonders you will behold.

In joy,

Andrea
