This quote is on my calendar this month. Today I feel like the picture that should go with it. I've been painting all day. I haven't showered. I'm wearing a bandana on my head, old overalls and a camp t-shirt. Not a stitch of make-up and a red nose from a cold. I am the epitome of nasty. I'm suppose to go out in an hour and I am wondering if I should tone down my looks so I don't have men running "amuck" as the quote says. Actually I love this quote because what it says to me is that being beautiful is all in the attitude. You may have on sweats and your hair up in a bun, but girl, you are still gorgeous!
Beauty is
Creativity, Spirituality, Kind Heart, Hardworking Hands, forgiveness, patients, welcoming smile, laughter, generosity, teaching a child, singing a lullaby, listening ear, a good sweat, a new recipe, fresh laundry, time to meditate, loving life, enjoying the moment, recognizing the surrounding beauty.
Don't get me wrong I am all for having cute hair, getting a pedicure and putting together an outfit that makes me look 10 lbs. thinner. But I would love to have the attitude that I am still beautiful even on the days I don't make it to the salon.
