Lately I read a quote from a very admired lady that said something like, " I believe happy girls are the prettiest girls ". Which thrilled me for about a half a second. At first I was all, " According to Ms. Hepburn, I am extremely wonderful to look upon ! " because I'm a pretty happy person as happy goes, well, except when I'm not ....oh yeah, then there's those couple days a month when I walk the hormonal tightrope. That delicate balance between tyranny and tears....I'll save that for a later post.
What does gravity have to do with aging you might wonder to yourself. I appreciate gravity as much as the next person. I enjoy not floating away without notice. Gravity is fantastic, just not when it comes to the aging process. So how does one age gracefully aside from the obvious fixes like nips, tucks creams, serums and sit ups? The Good Book tells us that our beauty is not just in our appearance but in our inner beauty that is of great value in God's sight. That is not to say we let the outside go to pot, we just gotta remember to "groom" the inside. Let's take time to care for our hearts and our minds.
My goal is to nourish my inside and work on my outside. Being comfortable in my own skin instead of wishing it looked like someone else's. Being less critical of the flaws and not resentful of "gravity". I have noticed at the times I feel my worst is when I'm most annoyed with other people. When I feel all is well with my soul, those are the moments I find it easiest to forgive and care for the folks around me. Anyway, I say all that to say, I guess I do agree that happy girls are the prettiest girls.......
