Imperfect Beauty

I am amazed at how many people feel the need to have elective surgery these days. I personally feel that my saggy boobs, horrendous hips (which I cannot fit a 40-inch tape around), painful acne and pitted stretch marks are all landmarks for what I have accomplished in my 29 years of life—which includes having five kids.
Don't get me wrong: I do feel somewhat self-conscious when looking in the mirror or undressing in front of my hubby, but then I remember the five reasons why I look this way and I feel a sense of pride. My body tells a unique story; it's a book of memories that no one else has lived. So for me, I'm chalkin' it all up to experience, and I wouldn't trade it for anything.
Next up: It's midlife crisis, gray hair, wrinkles and menopause. I plan to welcome them all!
