I think after last weeks photo every other photo I take will be subpar unless I put some extra thought into it.
I want to say thank you for such a positive reception of the photo I took.
It was a healing thing and although I only had one negative point of view (in real life) regarding the picture everyone else was quite positive. It was refreshing to have such wonderful feedback. After a week of thinking about the reasons behind the picture and also about who I am I've come to a conclusion that the deformity isn't really such a big deal to me anymore.
It was such a part of my life the first 20 years growing up. It was a big deal to my parents who used it as a crutch to inhibit me from doing things. It was a big deal to kids at school and strangers who saw me as a freak and not as a person. It was a big deal to me in my 2o's because it almost prevented me from having a child.
Now I'm able to see it as just another body part. It might look a little off but it has nothing to do with my mind which I think is quite sound. I was raised to have a physical view of the world without delving deeper into the surface to see what and where true beauty lies.
As the months pass slowly I am seeing what others see. Once I'm able to remove the blinders put on me by years of pain and suffering physically and emotionally I see the beauty that lies within. What a wonderful and glorious feeling this is!

This week has been super icky weatherwise. We've got cabin fever going on.
With that said I have a crappy photo to share because I'm too lazy to put any thought in it today.
I made and shared lunch with yesterdays friend. YUMM!! Who knew I could cook?
I can really if it's for more than one person.
Today's photo is brought to you buy a sewing project I've been working on for weeks!
This will be a pillowcase for Aaron to match is beautiful quilt.
I'm also in the process of making a curtain as well.
I am to finish both by the end of the weekend.
Have a wonderful weekend!!
