Secret For Self Esteem

Come on over here honey-
I’m going to share a few amazing secrets with you-
Like just between us gals.
They say you have to love yourself so another can love you.
Well honey!
I truly love me.
I look in the mirror every morning
and say,
“Hello gorgeous you certainly look radiant this morning.”
So what I have halitosis, eyes crusted shut and few missing hairs on my
shiny baldhead.
I’m still a good lookin’ old gal.
I have a great personality
I smile a lot and laugh at folk’s silly jokes
What are a few missing front teeth with a little tobackee stain?
Minor details.
Now my figure ain’t perfect-
But what are a few hundred extra pounds-
More to love that’s what I say.
Now this is my secret on loving yourself.
Be sure to do this everyday
Think this very thought
Be sure to tell all your friends that
You love yourself so much -
You give yourself a hug everyday.
This is a great idea for self-esteem.
Now thar’s folks that will disagree-
Pay no mind.
Cause if you can’t love yourself
You’re in for a whole lot of trouble
and disappointment.
Once again I remind you
Give yourself a great big fat hug everyday.

Bonnie J.

BonBon, this reminded me of a song by Carole King.  Not sure I remember the name, but the words started..."You got to wake up every morning with a smile on your face and tell yourself you're beautiful...."  Great song and great advice from you.   beautiful lady.      ......jo

Great big smile here -- this was fun and carried the weight of truth to back it up

Hugs-  Susan

Happiness isn't something that happens to you, it's created from within you.  Joy is a state of mind.
