I think we spend a lot of time wondering, worrying, freaking out about how other’s see us.
Or maybe it’s just me.
Someone taught me a great lesson today.
She’s five.
She wanted to “make me”. We have little foam body shapes and colorful clothes and hair to create people. We’ve done this before. But no one ever made “me”.
Today she made me.
And she sees me like this:
How can I ever worry about how anyone sees me again?
She loves me not because of how I appear but because of who I am to her, for her. Today she told me that when she thinks of me she thinks of “me and you sitting on the moon together”.
Lesson taught. Lesson learned. I worry about this no more.

Love through the eyes of a child, Wonderful.
How children see us is the true measure of how we are. They are always honest.
You must be pretty special if she said so!
Children are so very honest. And perceptive. If SHE (and the others) love me, I must be “okay”.
What a gift! Oh and i love your skirt
Pfft!
LOL
sweet and sweet and sweet….see no worries
I know. Thank goodness she is here to teach me!
Through the eyes of a child! You heard it loud and clear from the mouth of a babe–you two sitting on the moon together. Is there anything sweeter?
I know, how does their little thinking work, to come up such sweetness?
Oh so sweet! I love that you are posing on your xylophone too…Perfect!!
I love your site. Today’s is proof told.
What a wonderful compliment! Thank you!
She sees you as a “big headed” happy person – who loves flowers and maybe she would like to see you more dressed in skirt.
A fantastic compliment and she wouldn’t share her moon with just anyone.
Oh I love how you said that! She wouldn’t share her moon with just anyone!
Thank you. But about the “big headed” part…..no no, you’re right. As I’ve said before, my family DOES have large heads. I just didn’t think it was THAT noticeable.
[...] today (if you want to see the me of today look at the banner of my blog or check yesterday’s post). Again, if that seems like a shameless plug to read more of my blog…just ignore me. You [...]
