You hit the nail on the head. That’s why I honestly don’t know why people put so much emphasis on beauty and perfect features, skin and bodies.

Just look at hollywood. They can’t get themselves fixed up any more perfectly with their botox and diets and workouts than they are doing and yet...with their $$$, homes, travels to far away and exotic places to vacation...they come back to the same old person when they look in the mirror. They should by this time know and realize that all the money in the world can’t make them perfect. Oh sure...outward beauty fixes but...inside they are who they are. Too bad they can’t be happy with how they were created. Instead, they bow down to what OTHER people think they should look like or be built like.

Most of their lives end up badly with drugs or other problems and in the long run guess what???? They STILL age like the rest of us and...I would think after all the plastic surgery and the botox when it wears off...God help them. It’s better to be who you are, age gracefully and be proud of the lines in your face. It means you have lived, laughed, cried and experienced life as it came at you and SURVIVED.

So, while there have been many beautiful First Ladies outwardly... Lady Bird Johnson’s light did shine through as you said and she was sweet and kind. I’d rather have someone say those words about me...sweet and kind...than GORGEOUS and FASHIONABLE but without inner light inside my heart and soul.

I think the same of First Lady Bess Truman as well. She was a wife and mother first and a gentle, kind soul who was also underrated. She reminds me of my mother and for that...I would admire Mrs. Truman 100%. A real mother who loved her family first and foremost and put them first and foremost but...then again...so did President Truman.
