My daughter took this photograph of me today, quickly, in my bedroom. We swept the mess off the table, moved the dirty clothes off the chair and tried to make things look presentable, including me.
I complained the entire time about how I looked. The light wasn’t good, my hair was greasy, I’m 42 on Sunday, I want to lose weight, I’m in perimenopause. But this is something I do. Saying it out loud has become a habit.
@kristiedegaris
Wonderful photo, wonderful daughter. I guess she is that way partly because of you.
(Took me (51) some time to learn, got a grown up daughter myself who's one of my best advisors) -
4/4
So here is a photograph taken by a daughter of her mother. That is all. I am trying to learn from that.

@kristiedegaris Your daughter is talented, it's a good photograph. And your forearms tell their own story, that this is a person who does in fact work with stone.

@kristiedegaris Upside: your daughter, in her awareness of what you were doing, seems to be free of some of the burdens you carry.
Nice pic.
Cheeky snaps.

@kristiedegaris But the light is good. The photo is good. The book is one you wrote?

@NicelyManifest I agree, the brain can skew things so much, and yes, I wrote the book. I needed a photo for a wee interview I am doing about being a writer, and my daughter kindly offered to take one for me.
