Okay, every morning when I 'm putting on my makeup, I look in the mirror and say "Damn! You are beautiful! Don't ever die!"
People laugh when they hear and/or and see me do that but I don't care. If I don't say it to me, who will? I mean really!
I've known a lot of women who bemoan their appearance. To hell with that! Go ahead and appreciate what you've got! I
Perfection is always in the eye of the beholder. Look in that damn mirror and love yourself exactly as you are.
Today's prompt was "Damn". Now go on over to "We work for cheese" and see how the other beautiful people addressed this prompt!
Damn, you are both beautiful AND wise. You're the whole package, Linda, don't ever die.
ReplyDeleteWhen I WAS beautiful, I never saw it because uglier women than I always had a false "attitude" that made me feel inferior. They merely thought they were pretty, I actually was, but never knew it. Now that I'm OLD, I now fit in my mind better, but the rest of me got lost. I'd never tell myself I was "beautiful", not having that much interest in makeup and hiding the facts behind facial camouflage. But my mind doesn't feel it's necessary and I agree. So, for me, that's the accomplishment.
ReplyDeleteThanks Ziva! I am so tired of people not just loving themselves for exactly what they are. Each and every one of us is beautiful in our own way. I think people are happier when they truly believe that.
ReplyDeleteI am the eldest of 4 daughters and was always considered "the smart one" while my sisters were the "prettier ones". To me, the whole package is what really matters. Cosmetics are fun to me, but I don't consider them "camouflage". See, I tell me I'm beautiful before I put on the paint! LOL!
ReplyDeleteI want to meet you in person SO BAD. I know I would love every single minute of my time with you. You are gorgeous, classy, smart, sassy and are happy to be YOU. You would be VERY healthy to be around!
ReplyDeleteOh Katherine, I spend some time listening to Patsy Cline and drinking bourbon and lamenting all the men who done me wrong, but at least I have fun doing it! Come and visit me!!!
ReplyDeleteSizzling damn! Good for you. I love it!
ReplyDeleteWhat do you mean if you don't say it to you, who will? I will!
ReplyDeleteDamn! You are beautiful. Don't ever die!
And that really is a lovely photo of you.
That is too funny! My father used to say quite a similar thing. He'd look in the mirror and say, "Damn, you handsome devil, I hope you never die!" How strange is that? ROFL
ReplyDeleteI love your attitude, btw...yep...women always feel like they are lacking. Screw it - play up with you DO have. :)
ReplyDeleteWell dammit woman, you ARE beautiful!
ReplyDeleteBourbon & Patsy Cline! I'm in!
ReplyDeleteI is good. I is nice. And I is funny. That makes anybody beautiful, Paula!
ReplyDeleteNot sure, but I may haver gotten it from something similar my dad used to say to himself after shaving!
ReplyDeleteMy mother used to moan and complain about lines around her eyes and pull her face tight saying "Oh if only I could afford a face lift" when she was about 40. It got worse. I swore I would always be happy with exactly what I have. And so far, I've kept my promise!
ReplyDeleteI knew you were my kind of girl, Paula!
ReplyDeleteAh Nicky! Thank you! That is really sweet! And okay, I won't ever die.
ReplyDeleteOf course you realize I refuse to wear glasses or contacts. That too does wonders for my appearance!
ReplyDeleteI do that too when I'm putting on my makeup. Because if I ask the mirror who's the fairest it always answers Linda Medrano.
ReplyDeleteI know, right?
ReplyDeleteAmen, sister. Damn is such a great word when used as part of an affirmation!
ReplyDeleteReally it is! One of my favs, Nancy!
ReplyDeleteThat is a healthy, confident attitude. Good for you!
ReplyDeleteLinda, it's so much better than saying "Damn! I'm old and ugly and I'll probably die soon", now isn't it?
ReplyDelete"I've known a lot of women who bemoan their appearance. To hell with that! Go ahead and appreciate what you've got!"
ReplyDeleteAMEN, Linda. Amen.
Totally.
ReplyDeleteI remember being told I should do this for my health. All I managed to do was giggle. Work it, Linda! (I'm caught up with your WWFC posts but I'm tired so I'm posting just one comment. Lovin' your porn.)
ReplyDeleteCheryl, you should do this because you are a gorgeous dame! You can also pet those lovely long stems of yours at the same time!
ReplyDeleteAh, thank you, Kevin. You are so sweet!
