Today's blog is about my best feature. I find it easier to point out negative things about myself than positive, to pick out things I don't like rather than things I do. I suppose that's fairly common. But really, you should recognize the good everyday. I have started a health and wellness challenge for 2017 and January is all about appreciating yourself. Focusing on the good instead of the bad. So this blog fits in perfectly with that.
I looked on several other blogs to see what my fellow bloggers had said was their best feature and 9 times out of 10, they said eyes. Okay well... my eyes are fine but not what I would consider my best feature.
I'm actually tempted to say my hands. I have smallish hands and fingers (I normally wear ring size 5 1/2-6) but they don't look abnormally tiny. And I can reach my hand inside small spaces should I drop something, which is often. I also like my nails. They grow fast and aren't thin or brittle. When I have them painted people always think I have fake nails. (I've never had fake nails!)
Once I went with my grandparents to a doctor's appointment and I was sitting in the waiting room, minding my own business, when a tiny little elderly lady shuffled up to me. She asked me if I played the piano because she said I had the perfect hands for it. I don't play the piano btw but I will never forget that.
I also like my hair even though I never know what to do with it. It's not too thick or too thin. It has body. It's naturally wavy when I don't dry it. My natural color isn't bad though I do like to get highlights in the summer. I do have to wash it frequently or it gets oily but I don't mind. I shower everyday anyway.
Even though I don't always love the rest of my body, I do appreciate what I have. I'm healthy, I'm not overweight, I haven't grown out of any of my clothes lately. I may not be that strong and I may not be in the best shape, but I don't cringe when I look in the mirror. I have days where I feel pretty just like I have days I feel fat and hideous. But I've learned on the bad days to remember that I am so lucky to be me.
