Mick, thanks for the kind words. I've never thought of myself as attractive and it never really bothered me.

Praise - I don't think most of us got past your smile!

I think most of us, as we age, develop a better ability to see. We learn how to tune out distractions so we can see what's really there.

There are people who look for the negatives in anything - reasons to dislike things or people. Most of us (I would hope) look for positives. There's something beautiful about everyone, and all it takes to see it is to look for it.
