In our lives there are moments of great beauty that are so fragile, so transitory, that to experience them is pure joy. To share them is to know the essence of living (GWEN JAMES)
This is incredible!!!!!! Thank you!!!! Having had a mother who always stressed looks (and still have the scars on my psyche to prove it) and seemed to think I wasn’t pretty enough. I tried to instill in my daughter the idea that it’s what in one’s brain and heart that counts — and yes, I think she’s beautiful. I think it worked. That said, a couple old scars opened while viewing. Sigh.
Your mother was a victim of her times and probably her mother too. Don’t let it continue to get you down. I’ve never even seen you but have gotten to know you through your thinking cap and I think you are–listen to that old Joe Cocker song (in your head) “You Are So Beautiful.”
Wow, am I happy I never had a mother like that! Fortunately, I wasn’t that kind of mother either. But it is that type of mother that makes good subject matter for monologues.

Aren’t we all lucky to have access to it?

You blew me away with that one. When I write my next post I will steal it from you in hopes my granddaughter will see.
Please steal it Ruthe. I stole it myself from someone on Facebook. (But I told them I was going to.)
