A New Face

I really didn't want to post this photo and I'll tell you why. When I saw it...I croaked. It's probably hard to tell because blogger distorts your photos when you upload them, but when I first loaded it onto my computer, all I could was how much I've aged since becoming a Mother. Wrinkled eyes, freckles galore, sun damaged skin. I tried to give myself a facial rejuvenation...Photoshop style...but it was no use...my skin was beyond my Photoshop skills! Then, I started seeing the beauty in this shot. Forget the dinosaur skin on me...take a look at that baby skin. So pure, so natural and pretty much untouched by life yet. Side by side, this photo said so much more to me then I'm getting old. I started to see the start of a young life....so much still ahead of her to see...so much time for that porcelain doll skin to start showing life's adventures on it. And when it does, I will find her just as beautiful as the day I really "saw" this photo. She will always be my baby doll.
