Freckles

Pink & Orange 'Freckles' Giclée Print

    Well it's that time of year again when my freckles show up with the sun.  Freckles are just melanocytes that produce pigment and are bunched together, rather than being spread evenly on the skin.  Maybe we notice them more as we trade in our long sleeve shirts for short sleeved ones.  Some people think they're cute on a speckled pup but a beauty flaw on their own skin.  I say it's a matter of perspective and beauty lies in the eye of the beholder.  Who decided Cindy Crawford's mole on her face was a 'beauty mark'?
    What bothers you will manifest itself into a needless worry and distraction.  How many lemons have been used to lighten our freckles?  It is what it is, so let them highlight your natural beauty.  Just as the stars give a twinkle to the night sky, let your freckles give an inner sparkle from within you.
