having qualities that give great pleasure; delighting the senses or mind

It seems there's more important topics at hand than beauty; what it is, how to attain it, what it feels like. There's scandals being exposed in the news, the need to start packing my suitcase (which i keep putting off), but it's still there, in the forefront of my mind. Does this mean I'm obsessed? Or in lack of self confidence? I don't think so. I was at a local beauty salon (let's not even start with the significance of that term) taking part of a somewhat ritualistic brow waxing when I came across one of the most 'beautiful' pictures of a woman I have seen in a long time needless to say, the picture stuck with me. Then a couple weeks later I'm watching an episode of Tough Love on VH1, don't worry I'm very much aware of the shows' rating on the 'trash tv Richter scale', and the host which actually sounds like he knows what he's talking about was talking about confidence, and how much of a attraction it is for the opposite sex. seems like i see an ongoing theme here...

I have found nothing to compete with this line of thought. While not becoming egotistical and self-absorbed let's take some time out and really look at ourselves. Not just the makeup we put on to cover our blemishes or the scars we have earned from acting our age when we were growing up...but really have a moment of self-reflection (literally and figuratively) and find something that we offer to this world that no one else has. Whether it's humor, intellect, efficiency, or patience, let's have a "I Love Me" day.


let me know what you find...
