Re: Gaunt--to

[Guest guest]

Yes, !

As usual, you're right! I've got to keep in mind that my self-worth

is not based on my weight/appearance.

It's based on who I am.

And something else happened to me this weekend.

I met and went out dancing with Tony, a professional photographer.

He sent me an email afterward saying that he'd like me to sit for a

photo session with him. And he'd give me copies of the photos for

free. Yikes! ME?

I know that artists like to photograph interesting subjects, not

necessarily " beautiful " ones, but still, the fact that he thinks I'd

be an interesting subject tickles me to death.

If and when the photos happen, I'll post one or two. If it never

happens, well, at least it made me feel special.

Francisco Store up the good feelings even if photos never come, and dump the bad stuff right after you hear it. You're worth it, we all are. Donnamanisodream wrote: Yes, !As usual, you're right!
