Day 6: 08.28.2020
Today I am thankful for two things; I am thankful I can now see again. I have spent the better part of a year having to jerry-rig my old glasses together to just 'make them work', I am also thankful for how others see me, especially my family. Every day my husband tells me I am beautiful. I could have just rolled out of bed, my hair a mess, an unwashed face, and unbrushed teeth, but he still tells me, I am beautiful. In his eyes, I am the most beautiful thing in the world. It is not just him though, today my daughter had to write in her journal for school, she wrote about her Daddy and his long hair and she wrote about me, she wrote that her Mommy is Very Beautiful. To her, to my husband, to my family, I am beautiful, AND YOU KNOW WHAT, I AM BEAUTIFUL!!! I may not be beautiful to society's standards but society does not matter, what matters is that I am beautiful to my family, myself, and in God's eyes. I may be having health issues, I may not be the size I want to be, but you know what, I am beautiful. No longer will I hide behind the camera, I want to be a part of the memories I make with my family, I want them to have photos of me when I am gone. To them, they will not see the pimple on my chin, or the wrinkles, or the extra weight, to them, all they will see is their Mom, who they see as beautiful and whom they love.
