Always look at what you have left. Never look at what you have lost. ~Robert H. Schuller

I was looking at a picture of me from about ten years ago. At the time, I was married and life was treating me pretty well. But I recall that time in my life I was unhappy with how I looked. I saw myself as ugly and fat and I was doing everything I could to lose weight. But now when I see that girl from ten years ago, I am stunned by how pretty and thin she was! In the present day, I can see what I couldn’t back then: I was beautiful and thin in that picture!
