That is what Jason tells me all the time. I have gotten better since high school. Like most of the Gonzales women he says. And I saw one girl I graduated with at a wedding last summer and she got pissy and told me, You are not suppose to graduate, get married, have a kid and get better looking. I think it flatters me to have short hair now. Not that long down to my tail hair. But I don't see what others see. You know!

Well, Dana. There is more to beauty than you see in your mirror. I know a lot of the time you are looking at the outside you and I keep hearing you pick out all the flaws in yourself.

But, a lot of your beauty comes by the love and happiness within you. Your peace with your relationship with Jesus and contentment with your hubby and baby. These are things that *DO* show externally mija. There is always a sparkle in your eyes. A glitter. (cept when you're cryin') And you have such a huge sincere smile that it's easy to see you are anxious to enjoy life and share your joy with other people.

You may think these things are internal... but they *really* do show externally in your countenance. You shine!

Now, I still think your outter appearance is glorious... but you find so much fault in yourself. I don't see that when I look at you. But, I *REALLY* don't think you see that extra stuff that comes from within you that shows on the outside. You just wear a joy that a lot of other people can only envy because they just don't have that same sweet spirit on the inside that you do.
