Day 25: My Best Physical Features

Okay, so this topic makes me uncomfortable. I don't like talking about myself and tend to see my flaws more than my best. I will give it the old college try.

My best feature I think is my blue eyes. They are an uncommon blue. People have commented often on my eyes. I even had someone once ask me "Are those your real eyes". No, why I just swap them out every day according to my mood. LOL LOL LOL. My eye color comes from my great grandfather and a "side effect" of a genetic syndrome that we were diagnosed with when my youngest was 4. It is called Noonan's syndrome and among its features is light colored eyes. We really don't have bad effects from the syndrome. I thank the Lord for the genetics that gave me my blue eyes.

Okay, so hmm, another physical feature that is a good..........hard to say.  Hmmm, thinking. I will say my small hands. I have small hands and this can be quite a benefit at times. I can reach into small crevices to retrieve things.

I kind of think being short has been a positive thing.  It has its drawbacks but on a whole being short has worked out just fine for me.

Finally, I guess I would say that my family tends to "age" well. We look younger than we are in reality.  At almost 50, I love the shocked looks when people find out my age. It's hilarious. I have even had people ask me "Are you sure"?  Yeah, pretty sure I am almost 50. I also loved it when I was pregnant with my kids. My first pregnancy was at age 32 and people thought I was a teenager. I had some interesting looks and encounters with people who thought I was a teenage pregnant girl. I can't tell you the times someone asked me "where are your parents"?  LOL, My answer "I AM the parent". LOL

I have always thought you have the prettiest eyes. I have a couple blue eyed children. I am jealous. I just love sparkly baby blues.

Oh this is a difficult topic for me as well but you did very well. I have blue eyes too and that is what most people will complement me on. Being short as well (5'1) is not something i have really thought about although people have made comments that it is a negative thing. It is just who i am. I may have to get a chair to get items up high but i have to bend less to pick items off the floor. Lol. Glad i found your blog again Thelma.
