It is an amazing thing…

… happiness ;)

I went shopping today.  After having a great date night with Ryan,  (where he may or may not have gotten food poisoning– poor guy!) I decided that because it took me at least 30 minutes longer to get ready than usual because *gasp* my clothes suddenly aren’t fitting right, I needed a wardrobe update.

You all know by now, my philosophy on not being a consumer and though it pained me a little to go be just another one of the masses swiping credit cards for useless things, it had to be done. 

Here’s why ;)

Somehow over the last few weeks, through various positive additions to my life (including a reconnection with my long lost love affair with the gym) I dropped 15 pounds and 17.5 inches!  It just keeps falling off as I let down my walls to let in happiness and possibilities.  Now, I am not complaining about my body’s metabolic anomaly, though I am having a severe case of breast withdrawls au moment.  I am just so amazed at how incredibly different I feel in my own skin. 

Beauty is in the eyes of the beholder and everyone is their own worst critic, but for the first time in a long time, I am finally feeling what I know I should…

… beautiful ;)

Spring is here and I am embracing it with open arms.  ;)
