My Own Kind of BEAUTIFUL

As much as I am a lover of words, I also know how damaging words can be when used in a negative context.

I won't sit here and lie by saying that my words toward others have ALWAYS been kind...because they haven't.

I have uttered hurtful words, and I have been hurt by uttered words.

Today, was one of those "I have been hurt by uttered words" days.

This past Saturday I got my hair done and was feelin' kinda cute. So...I did what every woman does these days when she's feelin' an extra dose of cuteness...I took some selfies.

After my "selfie photo shoot" I went through and picked the ones that I that were worth keeping...and ONE, I thought was worth sharing.

"Joe's" been out of town for the past five days, scheduled to return today.

As a "here's what you have to look forward to when you return," I sent him my favorite of all the selfies. No...they weren't "nude selfies." I don't do that!

I especially liked this particular one because it was primarily my FACE, and not much else. Very little hair, and very little of my shirt. Simply a GREAT shot of my FACE.

So, I sent it to him.

a few minutes later came his shocking reply: "Did you just do cocaine? Looks scary"

WOW!!!

How does one respond to that?!?

I had no idea, so...I chose not to respond.

I couldn't tell if he was joking -- although if he was, it was a TERRIBLE!

Or if he had become mean-spirited after his five days out of town, and truly meant what he said.

The only way that I'll know is when he calls or comes over, I'll have to ask. Til then, I'll just have to wonder.

For those who are curious about the pic -- if we are friends on Facebook, it'll be my new profile pic tomorrow. You can judge for yourself if you spot a cocaine-induced scariness.

Let the DIALOGUE begin: Have you ever thought that you looked FABULOUS only to have someone bust your bubble?

Talk to me!

Til next time...
