Lately. . .

Lately I have been super hard on myself. I struggle with my weight and my size. I struggle with everything I am not good at. This harsh look at myself lowers my ability to be totally content with who I am. Do you know the feeling? You know I am not good enough, I am not strong enough, I am not______ enough? This is such a destructive way of thinking and more often than not it spirals out of control. I am guilty of looking outside of myself for the positive thinking I should be doing for myself. No one but me can fill that space. So today I decided to change my outlook. What's that? Oh you've heard me say that before. That is true my friend. I am a work of art in progress. I will continue to try and chose happiness and seek to change my negatives until they become positive. What makes me happy? Well I love dresses and high heels but I do not wear them very often because I am afraid of criticism and odd looks. Standing in my closet I suddenly thought "Why Not?" Out of my bummy (okay, my PJ's which is one of Rob's old T-shirts and batman boxes. No the boxers are not his. I bought them for me.) clothes and into a pretty yellow dress and my nude high heels. Instantly I felt better. I also put a little mascara on and lipstick. I am not going out. In fact I am going to be cleaning. I feel good about myself today.  I want to feel like this more. So why not wear Sunday's clothes everyday. I deserve to feel good. Lean in close my dear friend So do you. You are worth it. Be brave and do something that you have always wanted to do. Wear that thing that you love but you feel a little silly in. Be brave enough to be who you want to be.

I hope your day is filled with love, laughter, and inspiration. Be well my friends.
