I remember my mom saying (when she was over 80) that when she looked in a mirror, she wondered who that old lady was.Louise Mehaffeyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04218317866776780796noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1338663029645373636.post-14801035428504786802010-09-22T15:11:01.699-04:002010-09-22T15:11:01.699-04:00Isn't it sad that we as women take so long to ...Isn't it sad that we as women take so long to feel comfortable in our own skin? That we cave into the societal pressures of someone else's idea of beauty and are so hard on ourselves? I'm 44 and finally becoming comfortable in mine and have stopped running from the camera as often. <br />I could go on and on about the bags under my eyes, wrinkles, a zit here or there or how one eyelid seems to droop in every photo or God forbid my big back side and why I don't want my photo taken. But then I realized I was basically cutting myself out of my family's or friend's photographic history. I started to think how sad it would be for my kids to open a photo album someday after I'm long gone and not have any family photo's with me in them. That made me feel foolish for having been so hard on myself all these years and to put an end to that behavior.Genahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15296923371009562892noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1338663029645373636.post-55537218739318694992010-09-18T20:04:57.207-04:002010-09-18T20:04:57.207-04:00I don't recognize the person I see in the mirr...I don't recognize the person I see in the mirror at all.

Your photos are beautiful! <br />I am almost 50 (just over 2 months to go!) and still have not become completely who I want to be. But that could be because my vision for myself is constantly evolving. I have achieved and gone beyond some of my original visions of who I want to be, and that is great!<br />I too come from a family who loves to eat too much Italian foods... and the skinny person I feel like does not show up in the photos... she's hiding!<br />I find peace and contentment from creating, especially my pottery, but also my jewelry and paper arts. <br />You are so lucky to have your husband and children to help nourish your soul.Higgins Design Studiohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05536747607468461664noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1338663029645373636.post-18296680556773175542010-09-16T21:12:07.723-04:002010-09-16T21:12:07.723-04:00I like the pictures you took of yourself.

It has been a work in progress, but I can see progress and that is heartening. Good for you Marsha, you can do this!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14228835578643576811noreply@blogger.com
