Dinah -
I don't need to even see you to tell you that I think you are beautiful. A person's beauty is not on the outside, thank goodness. You are full of such depth and beauty and you are so wise. Surely you see that as a huge part of your self.
I wise I could use words that you do, your thoughts are so interesting AND beautiful. When I read your posts, I often have a Oprah Ahhh - ha moment (however that is spelled?). Ask your son who he sees? It's so hard. I too struggle with my self image, but I try to soak up all the wonderful loving comments my children say about me (even though a part of me doesn't want to believe it). When my daughter tells me (age 11) "Mom you are so beautiful" I can't shut her down, afterall, everyone tells her, "you look just like your mother". So I have learned to say, "thank you". I know it's hard.
Hey - and who defines what "is" beautiful anyway?
But after saying all of this, I would have a hard time sharing that dream with my T. I'm having a hard time sharing the simpliest of things these days!! Try to be kind to Dinah, the grown-up. She had an extremely rough year.
