Beauty, again

It has a place, but it has been over exaggerated. for years, I honestly thought that what I lacked was being told by the one I loved that I was beautiful, but as I was trying to convince my children of something it dawned on me how pointless it is to establish or reassure our sense of beauty based on what someone says. Being beautiful is important,mind you. There is someone who simply must find you to be the most beautiful person alive, and it need not be your spouse or intended spouse, as I had always thought. 

I could easily understand that I would not appear universally beautiful, and that did not matter. All along I figured my doubts and such of my own worth and beauty were a problem with my husband not communicating well the awe one ought to feel for me (one he was to build an eternal family with). but, it was ok, because I certainly did not feel it for him either.

Tonight, I looked in the mirror and honestly thought, "great scott! you are beautiful!" it was then I realized that was all I really needed. I needed to think I was beautiful, it needs to be an internal thing. Beauty does not look a certain way or behave acertain way. It is appealing entirely to someone, and I was thinking about who I wanted to think ghat I was beautiful and I realized it was Myself! famous individuals are no different from me and yet, they are comfortable with themselves and that makes them attractive.
