Usually I wade through January and mid-February with lead shoes. All extremities are cold and I take hot baths and relish my electric blanket. Well, today after reading this quote I intend to embrace this amazing season just for those very reasons. Thankful for a hot soak in the tub, evenings that beckon me to bed at an earlier hour, hot soup, and a little extra reading time.
First thing in the morning...the photo above is what I see looking out of my bedroom windows. But, always when I wake up it is still very dark outside. The photo below is what I see when I look in the mirror. The wedding and the holidays took their toll, but let's be honest...I would look pretty haggard anyway. My eyes are still red indicating that I am not getting enough sleep. Dang, it's getting harder and harder to fix up plus I had no idea I had an asymmetrical mouth!
Me in the morning!
I wear reading glasses.

And I love that picture! Your eyes are bright and smart and your mouth pink and pretty first thing in the morning. I wish I could look that good. Ada said to me once, after I got up, "You know that make up we saw on TV? You should buy some, then maybe you wouldn't look so weird in the morning." HA!
The bed head is adorable, but I'm floored by your skin.
I'm looking like a sixty year old lately, and it's dreadfully vain but when I looked at the Christmas photos I cried. I do spent a lot of time outside... and you know kids stress and no sleep , but still.
And I like your reading glasses, they are my BFF lately as well.
i am going to embrace the season as well. great thought.
i had a similar experience when I photographed myself from a taller perspective (above my head). My nose is not nearly as symmetrical as I thought. I feel lied to!
