I am me

Wow... it's been a while since I've posted anything on here... sorry, it's been a tough/crazy/busy few weeks.  
I took this picture at Fredrick Meijer Gardens in Grand Rapids.  Something about these plants catches my eye every time I see them.  They aren't the most beautiful plants that I've ever seen, they don't have their own display/description at the Gardens, in fact, I have no idea what they're called, but they remind me that everything is special in its own way.  
It's the same with people.  I may not be as creative as someone else, as witty or as calm and collected, but I am me.  I am not supposed to be like everyone else.  If we were all the same... with the same look, the same level of creativity, the same ability to 'keep the books', the same amount of energy, the same personality... the world would either be really boring or really out of control all the time.  Not my idea of a fulfilling life.  
I am not like everyone or anyone else.  But I'm not supposed to be.  I have often found myself comparing my looks/ability/thriftiness/waist line with others and always ending up discouraged and frustrated.  What is the point???  
God has made me in His image and loves me for me.  What more could a girl ask for???
