.
I wondered for years what was wrong with Mother’s perception and
vision. Couldn’t she see that all of the people she called
beautiful, weren’t beautiful?
.
You were beautiful only if you had a certain figure and face
that was classed as beautiful by the laws of the world and
glamour. Yet when my mother spoke, people smiled as though
Glamour magazine had listed them as one of the beautiful people
of the year.
.
It took me years to finally understand my mother’s vision
and the phrase, “Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.”
.
My mother had a spirit that could see the beauty in a person. .Most only look on the outside and then compare what they

One of those strange newspaper stories told of a 19-year-old woman who had been charged in Los Angeles with two counts of
trespassing — after sneaking into the home of actor Brad Pitt and
trying on his clothes. I suppose we have different ways of adoring
our heroes..
.
But who are our real heroes? I was given a little quiz recently. See
how well you do:
.
Name the five wealthiest people in the world.
Name five Olympic gold medalists.
Name the last five winners of your national beauty contest.
Name ten people who have won the Nobel or Pulitzer Prize.
Name the last half-dozen Academy Award winners for best actor

Jane had been driving 16 hours straight and was still at least six hours away from her destination. It was almost eight o’clock in the morning and she was very tired.
After dozing off and nearly crashing into a telephone pole, she decided to pull onto a side road and rest.
Jane turned off the car and closed her eyes … drifting off to sleep, precious sleep …
When an old man in a bright blue jogging suit knocked on her window, scaring her half to death.
‘Sorry to wake you,’ he huffed, jogging in place. ‘But can you tell me what time it is?’
Jane glanced at her watch. ‘8:15,’ she said through the glass.
The old man thanked her, then left.
‘Just my luck,’ she muttered. ‘I’m parked on someone’s jogging route.’
With a sigh, she settled back into her seat and tried to fall asleep.
Two male joggers in their thirties knocked on her window. If she hadn’t been really tired, she would have found them cute. Now, they were just annoying.
‘Hi,’ the blonde jogger said.
‘Do you have the time?’ his brown-haired friend asked.
