Since it is the 2nd day of January we are going to have to double up.
Resolutions #1 and #2 this year of 2013: Call myself beautiful/Don't pick at myself
This is going to be a very hard resolution to hold onto, but any change is difficult.
My mother is a very beautiful woman. I have always been told so by people.
She, however, picks at herself all of the time. From "I'm so fat" to "I really don't like my hair".
This is something I have inherited. I know that her deepest desire is for me to be secure in
myself. When I was younger I had to learn to take a compliment with a "Thank you". I
remember coming up with reasons to tell people why their compliment was NOT valid.
I just always felt uncomfortable being the center of anyone's attention.
I am now a mama myself to 2 beautiful girls! Happy Feet (my energetic daughter, our little penguin), and Abu (aptly named by her uncle, she is our little monkey that we just welcomed into the world this last year).
The #1 thing I want for my daughters is to know their worth. This, I believe, will save them from a LOT of heartache.
As every person that has children around knows, kids do what they see, not what they are told! I need to act the way I want to see them act.
With humility at the root; I resolve to set any picking aside!
And
Call myself beautiful!
