New Attitude!

Yesterday, I went to see Menopause, the Musical! with a group of friends - what a gas! It was about changing from one phase of life to another, specifically women in midlife, but this is applicable to all genders, all ages. The show climaxes with the song I Got a New Attitude, as the four women come to accept the differences in their bodies, minds and spirits.

Don't you wish you'd been aware, as a 20-year old, that confidence and self-acceptance are infinitely sexier than a size 2 waistline? Perhaps you did know. Me, not so much. I simply couldn't see myself as 'pretty enough.' This is probably a common problem, thanks, in part, to the ravenous media which needs to airbrush SuperModels so that they're 'pretty enough.'

The point here is that Beauty, that which brings aesthetic gratification simply by being nearby, is not limited to one image, one skin tone, one age, or even one's look, at all. Rather, it is one's outlook that speaks volumes to the world.

What does yours say?
