We can't all be the same size so I don't know why society tells us we should try! I hope to teach my daughter that you are exactly right just the way you are so don't apologize for who you are.<BR/>The photos are precious and I love the poem. My mom recited that when I was a kid too. I always wished I had natural curls just like my mom.jillytacyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15621855217136876048noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2263927894612229534.post-19450164139762072312008-05-02T12:42:00.000-07:002008-05-02T12:42:00.000-07:00Nice post.

Trust me, you get a lot of grief from that too. Perhaps it was from envy. All I know is that I doubt that anyone is ever comfortable with their body and it is wonderful to be at an age where I am happy in my own skin.<BR/><BR/>Darn, though, I wish I still had my curls!Needled Momhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07749314475716010490noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2263927894612229534.post-52857233244479179362008-04-29T05:59:00.000-07:002008-04-29T05:59:00.000-07:00I aagree wholeheartedly!!
