Hey beautiful lady!

I had a wonderful thing happen to me recently while shopping at our neighborhood HEB (grocery store.) We had gotten what we needed and were in the check out line. I was on my scooter with Jack ahead of me while he talked to the cashier as she processed our groceries. From the line next to us I hear "What is a beautiful girl like you doing on that thing?" I looked up, smiled at the guy, shrugged my shoulders, and replied "Such are the tragedies of life." He gave me a big grin and said, "Well, you are beautiful!! Have a happy new year!"

When we got to our car, I teared up a bit. Since this ordeal began, the last thing I have felt is beautiful. In fact, I had begun to come to terms with the folly of my previous vanity and placing so much importance on my outward appearance. With a broken down body, I have had no choice but to turn to my inner depths and beautify who I am on the inside.

It was, therefore, really touching that a stranger reached out and bestowed such a compliment on me. Thank you, guy:)

I just started blogging yesterday as I found this web site.
