I Like the Look of Me

So random thought time. The other day i was walking to the back room to finish my work day when i happened to glance up and see myself standing in one of the mirrors in our clothing department. I didn't think gee i look great or other thoughts like that. I had been thinking all day about mothers with thier children and husbands. Many look happy but many also look faded and worn. They are not who they are they are mom and wife. The only thing i did notice in the mirror was me being alone. The thought did not make me sad or depressed as many people would be. The idea made me excited and proud. I am standing on my own and my reflection shines back an independent, determined and courageous soul. I know i have not fought all the battles there are but for that moment i enjoyed seeing through outside eyes that i am okay on my own.
