Like yourself just the way you are. Like the way you look, wrinkles and all. Like the way you
talk. Like your hair, most of the time. Like your breasts, whatever they are or are not. Like that crooked front tooth.
Like the way you get things done
on time (I may be last minute but it's on time) and right the first time.
Like the fact that there isn’t anybody, anywhere exactly like you.
Like your job, if you have one.
Like the way you have decorated your home.
Like the way you have stenciled your kitchen walls.
Like the music you hear coming from your neighbor’s
window.
Like the seasons of the
year.
Like being thirty-three, like
being forty, like being sixty-five or seventy.
(Remember what it was like to be thirteen?)
Like to laugh.
Like to laugh.
Like the way your friends show you how much
they like you. Like how it feels when
you like them right back.

What an uplifting post - lovely words and images!
Amen sister! The hardest thing in the world is for us to like ourselves - what gives with that? It is like walking the tight-wire between settling and wanting more - that unreachable itch of contentment.
This made me smile! Have a great weekend my friend
You are the sweetest thing. Really. You are.
