A great part of life
consists in contemplating
what we cannot cure.

i am not exactly sure if it's a good thing or not. but i do spend a fair portion of my life contemplating the unchangeable in my life. ever since my car accident that changed my face forever. even though the miracles of plastic surgery have done so much, i still struggle(less now, but still do)with looking at mself in pictures, the mirror or on video. i can't cure it. so why do i struggle? anyway, that's the main thing i contemplate now: why DO i think about it so much?? :)

i really understand what you're saying hannah. over the last couple years my visage has aged about twenty years. people used to tell me at 50 that i looked like i was 30. never again. my reflection in a mirror is always shocking to me. i wish this didn't eat at me like it does. but i tell you if god gave me a choice between looking great or accepting what he ordains, and finding all my joy in him i'd take the latter in a heartbeat. someday we'll possess physical beauty and spiritual fulfillment beyond our wildest dreams.
by the way i (and many others) think you're beautiful.
