skin deep

i pity the people who don't appreciate the real beauty of aging. Its not the skin nor age, its not how young you look - its how you deal with the process of being mature and being beautiful in day to day. it is important to tell oneself, i am beautiful in my own way. beauty is not defined by the physical aspect but i may say, it is more of the the inner being and being you. that i think is the essense, meaning and substance of the word mature.

optimist

the sun warms your body, but the rain cleanses the spirit;
the light shows you the way, but darkness shows you the stars;
happiness enlarges your heart, yet sadness opens your soul;
living a life all depends on the way you look at things.
