I was asked 'what makes you feel beautiful'? Or maybe it was, "when do you feel most beautiful"?...But questions and ideas dance and hide in my brain, so I will take some liberties with this.
I let the question stew for a few days. I have flitted from the superficial to the deep. I thought one thing would stand out more than others, but the truth is, I am always changing. I am shallow and deep. So, in no particular order, please see my incomplete list of what makes me feel beautiful:
A great fitting pair of jeans.
A long kiss.
Muscles.
A makeover from my little girl (the process...not the end result).
Sun kissed skin.
An unsolicited compliment.
Helping somebody anonymously.
A glass of wine.
Red lighting.
Red light AND a glass of wine... Total knockout!
Dancing.
Having my hair brushed.
A cat call (easy, before I get a nasty comment... I too am a feminist, but I am yet to be offended by this...)
Soft, smooth skin (my own).
Being jumped by my man (to my offspring: you read this at your own risk..)
White teeth.
There is much more. And much less. The list is fluid.
This was a great exercise. As odd as it may sound, it overwhelmed me at times.
What makes you feel beautiful?
Stay happy & healthy

My husband's sincere concern for me. Having my shoulder squeezed.
ReplyDeleteOh, yeah ... also ... getting a manicure and a good haircut.
ReplyDeleteThere truly is a mountain of stuff that can make one feel beautiful. Time to focus on that and to hell with the advertising/marketing that tells us why we are not beautiful.
