Beauty is in the eye of the beholder

Today I just wanted to touch on what makes a woman beautiful after watching miss Universe last night. I thought about this a lot because I used to not think of me as someone who was beautiful since I have always struggled with weight issues and the harsh truth is the fact that the exterior is what people see. I was at one low point in my life when I felt worthless but that all changed when I met Daniel. He only cares about who I am inside and he does not worry if I look old or even fat, to him I am the most beautiful woman who has ever walked this earth.  He also doesn't mind getting old either or bald, as a matter of fact, he likes being bald. Weird but he is ok with who he is.

 He likes me the way I am because to him I am an angel. I admire what mother Teresa did in this life. I don't think people placed value on her because of her looks but because of her big heart and that is how I want to be remembered. This is one of my favorite quotes from her. I particularly like to think about whatever you do is not  between you and them it's between you and God.

 DO IT ANYWAY – by Mother Teresa

People are often unreasonable,

illogical and self-centered;

Forgive them anyway.

If you are kind,

people may accuse you of selfish ulterior motives;

Be kind anyway.

If you are successful,

you will win some false friends and true enemies;

Succeed anyway.

If you are honest and frank,

people may cheat you;

Be honest anyway.

What you spend years building,

someone could destroy overnight;

Build anyway.

If you find serenity and happiness,

 

they may be jealous;

Be happy anyway.

The good you do today,

people will often forget tomorrow

Do good anyway.

Give the world the best you have,

and it may never be enough;

Give the world the best you’ve got anyway.

You see, in the final analysis,

it is between you and God;

It was never between you and them anyway.
