my mirror
When I look in my mirror, I see a momma tired, eyes on the verge of overflowing with tears of exhaustion.
When I look in my mirror, I see hair that’s not as curly as it used to be.
when I look in my mirror, I see a face and figure swelled many times its youthful size from motherhood and maternity.
When I look in my mirror, I see the woman I am afraid I am becoming.
When I look in my husband’s eyes, I see the energetic and enthusiastic girl he fell in love with.
When I look in my husband’s eyes, I see a hairstyle that’s never the same but that he always loves to run his fingers through.
When I look in my husband’s eyes, I see the curves he adores.
When I look in my husband’s eyes, I see the woman I want to be.
When I look in the mirror of my husband’s eyes, I forget what the mirror on the wall is trying to tell me.
“When I look in the mirror I see…” I told Lisa-Jo on Twitter that it was quite the dangerous topic for pregnant women to be writing about on a 5-Minute Friday! But she said that was the point. And it wasn’t long before I knew exactly what I’d be writing about… Care to join us? Lisa-Jo is giving away a beautiful leather journal to one 5-Minute Friday blogger!
Good grief, this is good!
I’m not pregnant, but after jean-shopping yesterday–this hit home with me. So, so very true!!
Wow…I can so relate. I need to put more stock in what my husband says than what my mind says when I look in the mirror. Well said.
You made me smile and this was simply beautiful.
As you might have guessed, I can ENTIRELY relate to this post! 馃檪 And as such I found it incredibly timely and encouraging…thank you so much for sharing, dear friend.
