I had to go look, once I read this post... I normally don't look at the bio's as I just go straight to the where the links take me.
I have to say that while this photo is sure to please many, I prefer you as you in the present... Your quiet gentleness and compassion shines through your eyes and I miss seeing that.

On a more humorous note... I can remember when my sisters and I measured our thighs one day while we were teenagers. We all about died when we came up with numbers in the teens. HA! What I wouldn't give, now, for a thigh that measures in the teens! hee, hee, hee...

Your photo reminded me of the Farah Fawcett swimsuit poster..only yours is much more beautiful.

Ya'll are so cute... I was almost 35 when that pix was taken! and I had 3 kids by then!! oldest was 10 and youngest was 4! I was always very SHY and would cover my body because I thought it was so horrible...so you see...we never are satisfied!! My mom had been murdered, and dad was dying, and my son had an incurable disease, and I was beginning a series of surgeries as I was sick... Now, I know how silly we can be about "ourselves" due to insecurity, lack of self-esteem, low confidence issues, etc.. I never believed I would live to be 65, and here I am!!! Tired, but feeling better than ever...mind over matter!!! This photo has been a "feel-good" lift for me, when at the time it was taken...I hid it, embarrassed... and...strangely...I encouraged my own daughter and granddaughters to never be ashamed of their body, and to be all that they can be!!! One life...that's all we get!!! Don't waste it!! thank you all for your sweet comments...Actually, I kind of like me on the inside so I guess I'll just deal with the outside in my own way...hugs, lindalaw

The thing I always think of is how when we were in our 20's we never apprciated the way we looked. I can see this with my teenage daughters-they are gorgeous, but tend to pick out every minor flaw. When are we women just going to love our bodies and appreciate ourselves? Makes me think of the commercial back a few years where the guys are saying, "Does my butt look big?" about themselves-hilarious. Thanks for your post and you are beautiful -now and always.

You are beautiful then and haven't changed a bit, same eyes, same nose and ears, same skin and smile, ok I know the difference, it is your heart for it has certainly enlarged over 30 years. See you are absolutely beautiful.

Love your Newfie Friend, Rose

Gee what a pin up gal you are. I noticed the photo but didn't realize it was a real photo. Don't knock yourself. I always look at the inside of a person and that is where the real beauty lies.

Linda, the picture taken today, or the one in the past, is the real you! A beautiful person inside and out (that is a certainty)

Happiness always, Stuart

You know what? I noticed it last night, but thought i was either going crazy, or it was your daughter. I usually go straight to the beef....the writing, so I read the Bio once and assume it remains the same, I mean...your talent. You look so beautiful! I actually thought it was an artiste's painting of a Greek Goddess. Well....I noticed...but didn't speak..guilty as charged! LOL! be blessed.....
