Beauty is in the eye of the beholder- Anonymous
The bird in the photo is a Brown Pelican. Few people would describe the Brown Pelican as either a beautiful bird or a graceful flier. And it is not a delicate eater. When it spies a fish, it partially folds its wings and plunges almost straight down, impacting the water with a giant splash as it nets the fish in its neck pouch. Yet we, especially children, find pelicans lovable and endearing.
How many of us look in the mirror and dislike what we see? Suppose we could be as accepting of ourselves as we are of nature's other creations.

Love is saying "I feel differently" instead of "You're wrong."
