30 Day Affirmation Challenge - Day 1

So the aim of this challenge is to post an affirmation of something I like about myself for thirty days.  As Whitney Houston noted, "learning to love yourself is the greatest love of all."  So here's to day 1 of learning to love myself.

I love my eyes.  I don't wear makeup often, however when I do, the first comment I get is that my eyes absolutely pop.  I was never one of those girls who wanted to be a blue-eyed blonde.  I love my dark hair and chocolate brown eyes.  My dad has the same eyes and I've passed them down to my daughter.

They say your eyes are the windows to your soul.  In my case this is so true.  A dear friend who has now left us once told me that he could read to the very depths of my thoughts through my eyes.  However he also described them like pools of chocolate, so who knows what was the truth!

My eyes can snap with anger, fill with tears, throw the dirtiest of looks to someone who has done the wrong thing by me.  They can reflect absolute and total love to my friends and family, twinkle with suppressed laughter and throw the most flirtatious looks (although that is a little out of practice these 20 years past!)

So there you have it - the first thing I love about myself - the eyes have it!
