What's your favourite body part?

Let us slip back and time and ask a question you may have been asked in high school. What is your favourite body part?

I love the eyes. They tell so much about a person.

Eyes are so called windows to the soul.

Notice that I didn't mention to who's body I was referring. Someone else's or our own?

In today's world of plasticity, we have forgotten to love ourselves.

Do you have a favourite body part on yourself? Do you have an area that you think was made just perfect?

Look at yourself in the mirror. Maybe there is an area that has too much hair, too flabby, too skeletal? What do you compare yourself to? Is it an ideal that you see in a photo-shopped magazine? Is the Hollywood standard what we measure ourselves against?

It's easy for us to criticize the plastic posers that supposedly signify beauty of our generation.

I think it's normal to have parts that we are dissatisfied with. I know I have my fair share of things that I would love to change. Some things are my own doing and some are genetic.

But there's one area on my body I have always loved. Call me egotistical. Call me vain. When I'm feeling down about my aging vessel, I check my fave part out in the mirror. It always makes me feel better.

My wife laughs when I brag about it. She thinks I'm a crazy.

Before we can love someone else we have to love ourselves. Yet we look in the mirror and there are things that we would like to change. Can we be thankful for the things we have?

That being said I'm going to continue to love this fave body part on myself.
