Mayim and Lily Are Beautiful

Thank you to all of you who responded to my shameless plea for compliments last week. I'm feel better now.

It's weird how one judges their own appearance. I've always compared myself to Lily Tomlin and Mayim Bialik in terms of looks, right? Well, I was just thinking about them after I posted the other day, and I actually don't think they are homely at all. I think they are beautiful. Lily is this amazingly funny woman, and Mayim is really cool and into homebirths, elimination communication, homeschooling and stuff like that. Sound like anybody you know? (Ahem, I'm talking about me here.)

But it's weird how I judge myself more harshly than I judge others. I'm my worst critic. It's like hearing one's voice on a recording, where you go, "Do I really sound like that? I don't really sound like THAT, do I?"

So, I look the way I look, and I'm okay with that, no matter what it is. Some days I look good. Some days I don't.

My friends all think I'm beautiful. My husband thinks I'm beautiful. That's more than enough for me.
