When life hands you lemons add alcohol and stir!

Nothing much going on, thank heavens. I'm liking this 'no drama' stuff. I have my moments, don't get me wrong, but I talk my way out of them as quickly as possible.

Gabe sent me a funny picture the other day that showed "the difference between men and women". It had cartoon drawings of a very thin, fit woman looking in a mirror and her backside and seeing a huge, fat bottom. Next to it was a drawing of a very overweight man looking in the mirror and only seeing an Adonis.

I laughed and said, "Boy, isn't that the absolute truth?" That started a short convo. Gabe couldn't understand how it could be true that a beautiful woman would look in the mirror and think that. His next words made me cry. He said, "Every woman is beautiful in some way and they should be able to see that."

He is right isn't he? Every person has some sort of beauty even if they can't see it outwardly. I couldn't tell him what I see in the mirror because he wouldn't understand it. I do know though that I have a beautiful soul and that makes up for a lot of other shortcomings.

So, I challenge each of you this week. Don't look in a mirror, just close your eyes and image what your best qualities are. What do you do that makes you beautiful to those around you? Maybe it is a physical attribute, but I'm more inclined to believe that it's those unseen qualities that make us attractive to others.
