Today is 'Women's Day'. I am not a fan of any particular day. As everyday is an everything day. But it is an extra feel good day 
As I enjoy doing rangolis for each of these special days, I was searching for an apt one for today and somehow nothing appealed to me. Finally I saw a woman looking at her reflection in a mirror and loved it. So here it is.
The above can mean different things to different people. It depicts so many things - appreciating ourselves, loving ourselves, respecting ourselves - everything else will follow only when we are able to do this - when we can look at ourselves in the mirror and feel these emotions. There have been days when I didn't go near a mirror because I would forget about there was a mirror. It has taken me so many years to be able to look at myself in the mirror and stay with myself!
It also reminds me of how a child loves looking at the mirror and keeps having fun looking at him/herself. A reminder that we should figure out ways to have fun with ourselves / on our own.
Of course this doesn't mean that we become self centered. But the person who cheers us the most will be or has to be ourselves. Waiting for someone else to do this job will never work. And we need this cheering to walk on our paths.
