It's a special skill of mine, really, probably, many of us are quite skilled at this. Women hear talks and lectures about not comparing, but really....I'm not sure it's stoppable.
i know i shouldn't. and i don't even look at magazines any more because i usually end up feeling terrible. but i still compare myself to others. a lot.
and on the good days, my feet are grounded in love, and i can recognize what i'm doing, and either change my actions or thought patterns.
on the bad days....sigh. it blows up.
today for example, a quiet day at home, and i'm catching up on blog reading. as i peruse a number of blogs that haven't been updated in a long time, my ego explodes and i'm proud of myself for blogging better. (gross, right!?!) and then i look at someones else's blog that is more fun, more creative, more updated, more pictures, whatever it may be, and i feel small and not enough.
so, i choose today to celebrate my many friends and loved ones.
this family has the cutest girls
this friend inspires me towards more art
this woman's grace filled heart is so big
this family's honesty refreshes me
this strong woman is working out her faith in the midst of questions
this mother stirs up beauty, creativity and love
this family enjoys life
