This weeks photo was taken last Friday in our trailer but I had no way to post it, this week I was at work for a long day and did not have time to take a photo so I'm cheating. It has been a week filled with shadows and long days. I can not put a finger on anything specific that is bothering me but I've been troubled. Days at work have been long and busy and this makes me tired and so I become sensitive. For some reason I've lost my ability to look in the mirror and embrace the wrinkles, brown spots, and deep shadows I see on my face. I just view my self as old and tired. It doesn't help to see two women transformed at work with the magic of a facelift. I don't like what I see myself becoming and I don't know how to stop it. It makes me sad-sad to be losing my youth and sad that I'm not joyful about the future. These are times of standing in the shadow for me.
Love your photo's, sometimes we do feel like shadows when we become older and wiser, hmmm a face lift doesnt make them wiser. But I do empathise with you. I feel that there are changes coming soon, not sure when but there is a distinct feeling here. Remember you are beautiful inside and no one can take that away. Hope your weekend gives you time to relax and reflect.
ReplyDeleteYour face is still full of beauty - the problem is you do not see it, but only that which you don't like. But I have the same problem - all I see in the mirror is that tired woman...
ReplyDeleteHope you can get some rest and refresh your soul this weekend - and be gentle with yourself.
I would rather a natural face with a few lines to a face-lifted one any day of the week. A week with low confidence like this is very tiring (I've had them recently too). Take time for yourself this weekend.
ReplyDeletelife leaves lines...what can i say....i too must embrace the map of my life that is left on my body...my face....and your face is so beautiful... something is up in the planets for sure...i have had a rough week too...a cup of coffee with a friend is in need...see you tomorrow at buck's...loving you lots....and do something special for yourself today!
ReplyDeleteOh my lovely friend... You are so beautiful... you just haven't seen it lately. I wish I could give you a big hug and share a cup of tea with you... I want so badly to make you smile and laugh... Please do something just for you this weekend and I hope your spirits are lifted soon.
ReplyDeleteam sending you big hugs and the hope of time spent just for you!
ReplyDeletei don't know how to convince you how beautiful i know you are... this is something that you have to come to realize for yourself, my friend. come out of the shadows and into the light, and you will see for yourself how brightly you shine....i love you.....xo
ReplyDeleteHoney, I'm only 35 and I have days when I'm down in the dumps about yet another grey hair that has decided first to grow in, and secondly to be unruly and stick out!
ReplyDeleteAnd then there's the tired look in my eyes...
It really all is in our perspectives...
I too need to put my focus on the wisdom I've gained, the experiences that have shaped me. ....and I find that when I keep myself busy, perhaps helping others, or blogging, I don't have as much time to look in a mirror!
Who invented mirrors anyways...? lol
You're only as old as you feel, when you're not looking in a mirror!
ciao bella
hope the sun comes out for you and puts a sweet smile on your beautiful face!

hang out with people that are older than you are, and guaranteed you'll feel younger!
this post made me so sad- I come to visit here because it is filled with beauty- you are beautiful- inside and out- truly you are beautiful.
ReplyDeleteI could have written every word of this myself..We mustn't let life or age get us down. Chin up and smile a big ole smile and think of something that makes your life the most worth living for. Then dive in head first:) I tell myself if Joy doesn't come to me I just have to hunt it down, it can't hide for long. Have a beautiful day!!
ReplyDelete'Blurgh' to nasty face lifts :-) Age brings lines and wrinkles but I wouldn't go back to being 21 for anything, would you? Hope u feel better soon. Kate x
ReplyDeleteAll the pictures I've seen of you give me the impression of being someone I would love to meet and talk to. I'm sure the 'facelifters' might look Ok at the moment but its just old skin stretched tighter! A very ugly concept and disastrous in the long run. Frightful. Yuk!
