i feel like complaining.
i feel it.
life is so hard for us right now.
husband working two jobs and still we barely get by.
i had a {once} successful business but now that we have three children it isn't successful enough…
Thinking about this post, and the responses to it, I began searching my soul even more for what true beauty is. What *I* think beauty is.
What makes a woman beautiful and appealing?

The weather broke.
I saw robins today.
Greeted neighbors with a smile and friendly word about the beautiful weather.
Everyone seems so happy.
My dog walked with me. 10 years old and still going strong.

I was watching Oprah interview Jessica Simpson today about real beauty.
I was happy to see Jessica finally come out and accept an interview, talk about the "mom jean" controversy and some other things.

Love is not proud
Love does not boast
Love after all
Matters the most

Love does not run
Love does not hide
Love does not keep
Locked inside

Oh how utterly important I am to the fabric of this family of mine.
So much so, that when I'm sick the whole family is affected. Funny how it took something like this to shine a spotlight on just how needed I am. And how I have a direct part to play in how the family functions, runs, performs.

Lets get something light and fluffy going on around here, shall we?
I'm shedding myself of the dark and allowing more of the light to shine through.
And what better way to step into the freshness of light than to do some 'window' shopping?

Bubbly, happy, super silly, joyful and carefree…
I need more of this in my life.
I feel these beautiful words dancing around, right above me, about to land on my soul at any minute.
