To see myself....
I see a daughter, sister, wife, and mother.
I see someone who appreciates the differences in people.
I see someone who is constantly looking for the beauty in everything,
but has such a hard time finding the same in herself.
I see new wrinkles and my first gray hair sneaking in.
I see someone who is probably misunderstood.
However, I also see a friend, a supporter, a believer~
I am learning to like what I see - when I see myself.
beautiful, mysterious and earthly - to me the essence of being a woman.
ReplyDeleteLove your self portrait.
ReplyDeleteFantastic self portrait - I love the depth of field...brilliant!
ReplyDeleteI would say your family and friends should feel very privileged to know some like you with such understanding and passion for life.
ReplyDeleteSelf-acceptance and understanding is the hardest thing to achieve, I think, for women. You're doing a good job of it. Really lovely self-portrait.
ReplyDeleteOh what a beautiful portrait -- the dof is amazing! And yes, I think we all struggle with self-acceptance. The early fifties have been very hard for me, trying to come to terms with the stranger who stares back at me from the mirror...
