Who I See...

who i see.


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.

  3. I would say your family and friends should feel very privileged to know some like you with such understanding and passion for life.

  4. Self-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.

  5. Oh 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...
