Thanks Maria. I am sure your mom is beautiful. Life certainly seemed less complicated back then in many ways.
I emulate my thoughts in exactly the same way with or without the gold filling! We are all beautiful, some more than others because of what and how we deal with things.
Life isn't about perfection or beauty. It's skin deep, it's what comes from within us.
Very beautiful.
Yes it is. I agree and love this quote. So true.
That is so beautiful, back in the old days they used to fill their teeth with gold (my Mom had a gold filling in between her front teeth).
I actually miss that gold filling Mom had as they removed it and filled it with porcelain. I still think she is beautiful!!
