Turning Weaknesses into Strengths

Okay, so most of you may know that I really really do not like pictures of myself. In fact there was a time in my life when I did not even take them, and even a longer time when I couldn't look at pictures of myself without getting depressed. I have come a long way in just the last year--although I seriously sobbed when I saw my wedding pictures--but enough of the pity party here let me get to the point...I am not getting any younger, and chances are that I'm not going to get much better looking, so I need to get on this. My goal is to get at least one picture that I can look at and think "yeah, I'm attractive," one that can make me happy and upbeat instead of depressed. I realize this is going to be painful because chances are I will have to consciously take and look at hundreds of "ugly" pictures before I find the one jewel. For me this is a leap of faith, I think I am finally ready to beat this thing so that someday I can take pictures with my kids without having to be all weird about it. Some of you may be wondering why I am writing this on my blog--so I am committed to DO IT and not back out because I committed to everyone on the world wide web and more importantly all my family and friends.
