After the last 2 days of pendulum swinging, I need a break! Trying to change your belief system is hard work. Self-acceptance is hard work!!! And don't let anybody tell you it's easy, a snap, one-two-three just change it. It doesn't work that way.
Well, it doesn't work that way for me.
Anyway, feeling some better today, after some good crying and friends (thank you!!) and buoying, and last night a visit from my aunt and Biscuit (I'll post more about that later, with photos!). This morning, honoring the smidgy of progress I've made toward greater self-acceptance and less comparing of self to others, I'm continuing with my flower picture posting. Here is Day 3 - the beginnings of a bow and ribbon, and more shading on the flowers. Probably one more go-round will finish it.
That's a big problem for me, knowing when to stop, what is just enough, and what is overkill. Same with writing. It's a skill, that, and I can see where I've improved over the years, but still, it's hard.

I liked them before the ribbon and thought your idea of adding one excessive--going too far.
I was wrong. Still relaxes me, draws me in, puts a smile on my face. But it's better.
Thanks for sharing this.
