giving thanks to your scars

That scar on your face that everyone notices is more beautiful than your otherwise flawless skin.

It says more about where you've been and less about where you're going.

It's written all over your imperfect truth.

It's a trail.

The trail where no one wants to know where you're headed.

They are in awe of where you've been.

How you've survived.

No one looks ahead on a map without first looking at where they've come from.

So, the next time you feel ashamed of your mistakes, 

remember to be proud that you're still standing.

Be thankful that you are aged another day in your life and that you are better than yesterday.

Still coming from somewhere to get somewhere else.

Entering healing from an exit wound.

Maybe you got shot down.

Maybe you fell.

Either way, the beautiful scar is yours.

Own it.

There's always beauty in that kind of thankful.

Happy Thanksgiving.
I'm thankful for all of you who follow me at Soul Inspiration.
