The Very Old Lady

 
A very old lady looked in the mirror one morning. She had three remaining hairs on her head, and being a positive soul, she said, "I think I'll braid my hair today." So she braided her three hairs, and she had a great day.

Some days later, looking in the mirror one morning, preparing for her day, she saw that she had only two hairs remaining. "Hmm, two hairs... I fancy a centre parting today." She duly parted her two hairs, and as ever, she had a great day.

A week or so later, she saw that she had just one hair left on her head. "One hair huh...," she mused, "I know, a pony-tail will be perfect." And again she had a great day.

The next morning she looked in the mirror. She was completely bald.

"Finally bald huh," she said to herself, "How wonderful! I won't have to waste time doing my hair any more.."

I've always thought that the prettiest girls, are the happiest girls. The girls that are the most amazing are the ones that realize they're the most amazing. No one wants to hate themselves. So why do we? As Helen Keller said they can't hurt you unless you let them. So why do you? Personally I think that every moment you spend hating yourself, is an hour wasted. Heavenly Father made you you for a REASON. Don't cheat yourself by being someone you're not. What does that do? It cheats everyone else the right to know the REAL you. The beautiful, smart, amazing, gorgeous, and perfect YOU!

Amen to that sister!
