pictures - a life lesson

My 7th grade son had to take pictures for his school assignment, after a long day he told me one of the pictures he would like to take is my portrait.
Uhggg I thought, my make up is worn off, I look fat, etc..... I thought what the heck let's take a picture like he always sees me, as I really am most of the time.
When he looked at it on the computer he said "you look pretty", I tried to look at it with his eyes and not all my personal judgements against myself. And for the first time in a long time, I think I really saw myself differently - I thought I do looked Pretty, not has horrible as I imagined. I looked relaxed and happy, smiling at my son. Why am I so hard on myself, why don't I see myself as my son does, it was a really nice moment.
