I, too, think she is so gracious. Another thing I have loved about her, is her willingness to grow old gracefully. I find it so sad that so many of the older "beautiful" icons have had so many procedures now, that you can barely recognize them. I'm not saying that you shouldn't take advantage of complimenting your beauty, but when you end up looking like a caracature of yourself, then it is time to reassess!!<br /><br />Anyway, thank you again for your lovely comments, and be sure to download my freebie. You deserve something beautiful, as I can tell you are a beautiful woman!!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12539491566747997476noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6200702878616861873.post-36560722733799700892012-06-22T02:02:04.866-04:002012-06-22T02:02:04.866-04:00Bravo for the mammogram!!

I have to admit, I'm all about the perfecting visual aesthetics. I will constantly be tweaking this and that, and it will never be "perfect." Hmmm, maybe that's a theme in my life that is part of this whole journey!! We expect perfection of ourselves in too many arenas, instead of enjoying the ride!! Have a wonderful weekend!!

At the time, however, I thought I was fat, I hated this, I hated that about myself. I would give anything to weigh what I did then!! I couldn't enjoy the best years of my life because I was constantly comparing myself to others. I think it is even harder for young girls and women today!!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12539491566747997476noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6200702878616861873.post-58278637470658785362012-06-09T18:40:20.586-04:002012-06-09T18:40:20.586-04:00Congratulations on your new blog.

I love to compliment other women on their beauty or clothing or style. What happens next is usually a negative response about themselves. I know that if someone compliments me it always makes me feel special. I think everyone needs to feel special occasionally and being able accept that compliment validates the feeling. Anyway, I do look forward to your blog. You are a brave and caring soul.idebihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08881668293421858696noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6200702878616861873.post-51512838107199834452012-06-07T22:18:52.951-04:002012-06-07T22:18:52.951-04:00Lorraine, congrats on your blog.

I agree with you. We don't take the time to say nice things to others but have no problem picking others apart. I will work on that too. Women need to build each other up.rani727https://www.blogger.com/profile/03228013680770013427noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6200702878616861873.post-56045694596649591952012-06-06T09:41:05.239-04:002012-06-06T09:41:05.239-04:00Congratulations on the launch of your blog.

Although in my case, I am surrounded by men at work and at home (Blogland being one of the very few places where I get to talk to another female). And. . . sometimes I get so frustrated by these guys! I need to think of the more positives attributes that each has, and maybe be a little nicer to them.Cynthiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12771661767576872674noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6200702878616861873.post-4595489363408666832012-06-04T18:25:26.700-04:002012-06-04T18:25:26.700-04:00Dear Lorraine, what wonderful thoughts for you to ...Dear Lorraine, what wonderful thoughts for you to share with us. It is very hard to be a woman and to find one's beauty. We always want something different..nicer skin..smaller hips..less wrinkles. It is time for us to be kinder to each other..we are all human after all. Let our inner beauty shine and we will be more open to other's beauty as well.
