After a day of feeling fat, ugly, inferior, awkward and just not very good, my daughter says some simple words to me whilst I'm putting her to bed tonight:
"Mummy if you are happy then I am happy"
"Yes and I'm happy if you are" I reply
"So mummy I will be happy then as that makes you happy, and that makes me happy."
Simple, beautiful, innocent and inspiring words. A 6 year old child figuring out and articulating something that us adults search for.
I really am blessed with my young wise children and really must learn to take my focus away from comparing myself to others and just rejoice in who I am.
