Life Reflection through Reese Witherspoon's Eyes

I know, I know, really you're blogging about how Reese Witherspoon sees life? I say, why not? Particularly if her latest reflections help me while I experience growing pains in Cairo. As she discusses her life as a career woman with 2 children and dating again (who can complain when you have Jake Gyllenhaal cooking for you?), I find her words very comforting.

"I'm trying to learn from the things that have happened in my life, live more in the moment, and have more fun.

As you get older, you know what you like and what you don't like, and you're not apologetic about it...

I used to judge myself so harshly. I think women in their 20s do. You're hard on your body, you're hard on yourself. But you start to realize that none of it is really all that important.

As long as you're comfortable, the best parts of yourself come through no matter what. Your mother can tell you that a million times, but you don't understand it until you live it!"
