Do You “Love the Skin You’re In?”
May 24, 2021

A great friend posted this brilliant poem on FACEBOOK. It was too good NOT to share:

Three good friends went for a swim.
The one who was fat wished she was thin.
The one who was curvy wished she was clever.
The one who was clever wished she swam better.
The really great swimmer wished she was witty.
The one who was witty wished she was pretty.
All three friends thought the other two were just fine. 
If only they could let their own bright light shine. 
So throw on your swimsuit if you're fat or you're thin. 
Enjoy fun and friendship .... love the skin that you're in! 

Watercolor painting and poem by Rachel Toll. of Devon, England.

Does this poem hit a nerve with you?

The grass is always greener in some other pasture, we know that for sure.

What are your comments on this image? And the words in Rachel’s poem?

    Sherry,
    We should all be kinder to ourselves.
    These women have chosen a greater thing than self-consciousness…FRIENDSHIP!

Just get a cover up and move on. Friends love you in all forms and fashion. Who else matters. Loved the poem and the picture.

    I wish I’d put it that way. (You should be a blogger.)

This made me smile. It is very true. We all have insecurities about our weaknesses and need more confidence in our strengths. Thanks for sending this, Sharon

    Sharon,
    I loved Beverly’s comment below. “Just get a cover up and move on. Friends love you in all forms and fashions. Who else matters?”
    We may not be as golden as the ladies shown in the picture, but If we have good friends, how lucky are we!
