What Do You See?

When you see yourself?  I saw this question on THIS post over at Shutter Sisters.  And I was interested how we see ourselves.  If I had been asked that question 10 years ago, oh how my answer would have been different.  I was in a relationship that was going nowhere, very self-conscious, and not really myself.  I had lost myself then. Then I started dating Anthony.  So many things have changed since then.  Having two children, getting married, becoming the mom I am today.  I definitely see myself differently.

Today I see:

A great mama.  An artist.  A photographer(an amateur one) but a photographer nonetheless. A damn good wife. A caring soul. With a free spirit.  Kind. Open. 

I see a woman that has a beauty on the inside as well as out.  I see myself with respect and confidence now.  I see the woman I try to be for my daughter.  I want her to be confident in herself as she grows.  And, as we all know, children learn by actions.  If she sees me being confident in my beauty, confident in myself...then hopefully she will be that way.  I don't want her to worry about those kind of things. I want her to be able to be herself with her own personality.  So, when I saw myself ten years ago, it was some other person....that I had grown into while I was with my ex.  Today, I see me.  The real me.  The me that I am happy with and satisfied with.  I see hope and faith and love.  I am feeling good.  I am feeling good about this year.

So what do you see when you see yourself?

  

Love, Jess
