I am divine beauty. Looking for beauty in all around me. Definitely easy to find the beauty in the huge thunderstorm today...wow, Mother Nature is a force to be reckoned with. I love watching waves of rain move across the ground.
We were out, and in a store when the storm started. No one was brave enough to leave. There were moments that you couldn't see the cars in the lot, a mere few feet away. After 20 minutes, we decided to make a run for it. Oh, we were soaked. The front dash of the car was soaked just from opening the door to get in.
When the rain stopped, and it started to clear, you could see the good that was done. Flowers had perked up, the lawn looked better. Everything looked clean.
Today was my Weight Watcher's meeting (down 1.2, woo hoo!). Our meeting leader asked us to share things that have changed since we had stared our weight loss journey. I mentioned that I see better mobility, how I was able to play on the ground with my niece, and get back up no problem.

My leader thanked me. She said that almost made her cry. She said the changes she has seen in me have been amazing, and that she hoped I can see how beautiful I am. She hopes I can see the self confidence that I project. She said a bunch of other nice things about me.

It was hard for me to sit there and hear it. I have never accepted compliments well. But I didn't shoot the comments down, I didn't make some joke to discredit the compliments. Not even in my head. I heard what she was saying, and said thank you. That was difficult, drowning out the negative voices in my head, but I did it. That's a first for me.

Times they are a changin'.
