Our little Christmas tree! Well it was actually a pretty big Christmas tree, so we ended up cutting some off the top and some off the bottom and when we finished it looked like the middle section of a tree because that's what it was!
My truth about "pretty"
Is this a pretty picture of me? Should I put it on facebook? Someone might see it and then know that sometimes I'm not as pretty as I am in other pictures. I know I'm just not as objectively attractive as some no matter how flattering the picture. But does this one qualify as 'pretty' to someone who has never seen me before? Do I trust someone who doesn't know me to see that I am brave because this picture is hiding none of my flaws? The wrinkles around my eyes, the dark shadows under them, my wider nose, my puffy cheeks that hide my cheekbones. That's the honest way I look. Why is this hard? I think who I am is beautiful and what I look like cannot be separated from who I am. I was hiking, I was in the mountains, I was awe-struck by the beauty around me, I was totally happy. It makes me sorrowful to reflect on how much I worry about if I look pretty. Every girls wants to be told they are pretty, right? No....
