the 'handsome' woman...

'It sometimes happens that a woman is handsomer at twenty-nine than she was ten years before.' -Jane Austen


finding inner beauty sometimes comes later in life but i believe we generally find it nonetheless. we grow into our not-so-perfect features and our too-short-calves. we accept that it is OK to look absolutely nothing like the beautiful women we idolize. we pick small pieces of that eventual comfort through a variety of things: cosmetic counters at department stores, fitness videos, fad diets, and new shoes and handbags. but only the inner Self knows when one's own 'handsome woman' is found.
