my thinking
There were so many moments of pure joy with Helena this weekend. And it was good to see Nik doing better than he has for a long time.
Helena, she sat with me looking closely at my face. She touched a mole on my forehead and like the concrete practical person I can be I told her 'mole' and pointed to the one on my cheek. 'mole' she repeated and we went on looking and being together.
Such love gushes to and from and she likes me! she really likes me and my heart swells when she first sees me and says in her way "Gram!" All that enthusiasm! All that love returned.
Later in the day we were with Leslie and Helena points to the mole on my forehead and says'mole'. Darling wonderful positive Leslie says thats not just a mole! Thats a beauty mark!! Of course Helena has just learned mole and she is not giving up that word.
I hope I'm able to remember just how I think and to check my second thought or reaction instead of the first and look for the beauty mark instead of the mole.

I hope I remember to see beauty marks today, instead of moles : ) thanks for the reminder!! : )
I have freckles, and was taught that they are angle kisses. My body is marked with "moles" too that which my Mom corrects me and tells me they are beauty marks. I am grateful that my Mom has influenced my thought on this.
To say mole seems easier, but we are painted so beautifully by our maker.
This is such a warm post, thank you for sharing.
Wonderful post. amazing how much a change of perspective can do.
I think we all need to work on that...see beauty instead of ugliness. Amazing post.
