Difficult to believe this was just over 80 (EIGHTY) years ago. I don't think I'd changed all that much at age 17 but there's not much beauty left now.
I've kept up this photo a day now for two weeks. I wonder should I keep going or have I proved enough that I can do it?
I love the photos you have shared. I admire you for doing it every day for two weeks :)
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for your kind words.
DeleteI managed to keep it up for over a fortnight but have had to take a break cos of medical issues but will try to continue ASAP.
What a cutie you were Mimsie and a beautiful young woman. Your beauty is still very apparent in your posts. One doesn't lose beauty my friend it just comes from a deeper place.
ReplyDeleteI've been absent and am trying to catch up on blog friends posts!
I am absent myself right now but just popped in to reply to some comments and I am so appreciative of the nice things everyone has been saying.
DeleteI commented previously on beauty lost hopefully was not just skin deep but below the surface as well. I do try. x
Clearly you underestimate the permanence of beauty. The biographical experience you share here is a timeless enchantment. My compliments and admiration.
ReplyDeleteGeo. as usual you overwhelm me with kind words and thank you for them. I sometimes these days need a boost to my ego.
DeleteI am so thankful I have so much information about both my families (birth and adoptive) even though I didn't get the opportunity to meet many of my relatives.
I think the older we get the more beautiful we get where it counts....on the inside.
ReplyDeleteI am always hoping that any beauty I may have had was much more than skin deep.
DeleteHari Om
ReplyDeleteI'm with the chorus of charmed commenters.... plus... Shirley Temple eat yer heart out!!! YAM xx
Yam, you too are so kind with your comments. Thank you. xx
DeleteI love this photo! Those gorgeous sparkling eyes, the cheeks and happy smile. You have the look of a child who is loved and knows she is loved.
ReplyDeleteWithout telling us your age, I would have guessed almost three straight away. there's a look kids get when they are leaving babyhood behind and gaining a small measure of independence. That moment when they realise they are persons in their own right, not just a part of mum and dad.
Yes, I was so fortunate to be wanted so much by two wonderful people and to receive their love continually.
DeleteI was a shy child but think I was probably quite a little miss at times.
P.S. you remind me of the little girl in the Pears Soap advertisements.
ReplyDeleteI can't recall that Pears advertisement. Perhaps I may find it on Google. Will go look after I log out here.
