Bonkers in Barnhart

My first instinct is to say I don’t have one since I tend to be hyper critical and certainly my own worst critic.  So I asked my kids, more our of curiosity then anything else, but their answers were interesting.  Mac told me that he likes my hair – that it is soft and he loves to stroke it.  He was *very* upset when I got it cut short and informed me that I had to grow it long again, right away.  Since I didn’t like it much short either I told him I would.  When I was younger I did have very thick hair with a bit of a wave.  It was pretty.   When I got sick I lost most of my hair and when it came back it was more curly and not as thick.  But Mac is right that it is still probably one of my best features.  Of course, he also likes my glasses which he says makes me look “cute” — LOL!

Alex, on the other hand, told me that my eyes are very pretty.  Interesting considering my lamentations growing up that my eyes were brown and *so* boring.  But she tells me that when she does something that makes me smile or laugh they light up and she knows I love her.  How sweet is that.

So I think I’ll listen to my kids and remind myself about the good things instead of always being so focused on the negative – and if I forget maybe they will remind me once in a while – LOL

I don’t even know if I have a photo since I tend to avoid photos like the plague so I’m going to publish this and if I can find a photo I will add it.
