Inside and out. ♥

☺❣️

I love Toad. Oftentimes, so me.

They say true beauty lies within, but it can also lie within your reflection.

Yes, you are. It’s more important to be beautiful on the inside, as that may never fade. In the Kushiel’s Legacy novels, the canon of Cereus House is the ephemeral nature of beauty. All loveliness fades.

Great perspective sketch Maxx. That really is how everyone looks when photographed from under the chin.

Yes, you are.

Cue the one Cristina Aguilera song that I like!

I finally got a smart phone and since I am clueless about them my daughter got rid of most of the apps she knew I would never use. My husband then rearranged them. I went to touch something but I accidentally hit the camera. I did NOT want to ever see my fat lags in such a medium. The fact that the camera had more details than my actual eyes was weird. I made him move it back to where my daughter had it.

I can open my camera app. I don’t like having to manually close it after the picture has been taken.

That is opposite of what happens to me when I accidentally start my camera…. I’m always looking down and frowning and look like an old witch.

Yes, you are!

The selfie camera is wide angle…. no one looks good in that!

Yes you are! Inside and out!

YES YOU ARE!!! I love the quote that I believe I have seen credited to Confucius, but who knows if that is true… that says something along the lines of, “There is beauty in everything, but not everyone sees it.”

No need to fear the camera when you know how beautiful you are.

Sometimes others can see better than oneself. My mother got to see Eleanor Roosevelt when she came to northwest Washington for a friend’s wedding. Mom said she was beautiful.

Came back after a while. I missed this strip. I love starting my days with this.

Thanks for the reminder. Everyone is beautiful

I have the opposite reaction if I accidentally turn the selfie camera on

Yes, you are!
