Beauty is in the Eye of the Beholder

The kids are in the bed. The dog is walking around and enjoying the quiet.  My husband is playing this annoying game called 'Call of Duty'. (Sorry fans of 'Call of Duty'.  I just cannot get into it.  I am a 'Final Fantasy' fan.)  Anyway, the day has ended.  So far we have had 3 calls about bills we do not have money for.  No calls about jobs.  I am a little disappointed about not getting a call for an interview.  I mean come on!

Well I was sitting here bored.  It is late but I could not sleep.  I have been praying for my family.  I started to think about the pictures I have on file.  I looked at the pictures of my kids.  I looked at the pictures of my deceased cat.  I looked at pictures of my dog.  Then I came across a picture of a dragonfly.  For some reason I felt compelled to take the picture awhile back.

I looked at the picture and realized just how ugly the dragonflies are.  It looks so majestic when it is flying through the air.  It reminds me of what a fairy might looks like when it flies.  Then you take a closer look and you realize just how ugly it is.

I took the picture because it is ugly!  Ugly and unique!

No matter how ugly and different something is you can find something beautiful about it.  Hey!  I would not be married to my husband now if it was not for his light brown eyes.  The unique way he made me feel.  My husband was a bean pole of a man when I met him.  A weird man who wore shades at night. 

He is a cutey patooty now. 

You have to appreciate the beauty of ugly things.  They might surprise you.
