I love my hair.
I don't have any debt.*
I'm happy with my body.
I am confident in my intelligence and abilities.
*I could write a whole post about how it seems acceptable to bemoan (or almost brag about) the amount of debt one has, while it seems un-American to live within or below one's means. Aside from my new mortgage and small loans from family (quickly paid back), I have never been in debt. I've never had a huge salary, but when I was young I learned to save money and only buy things I could afford.
I couldn't agree more. A surprisingly large amount of people aren't happy and comfortable with what they have, or seem to think they need more/better/etc.
I do love my golden locks, too.

Another, unrelated comment - have you thought about publishing your stories to your FB page? Just as a link, but then it would be easier for folks to see when you updated. By folks, I mean mostly lazy me who doesn't visit your blog every day. :-)

The one thing I have to remember is the number of people who have an accident or illness that completely eats up any savings or money they may have. It's horrible that medical care in this country is so expensive.

While waiting for a new post, I reread this one. I just hope you aren't turning into a Republican?

Haha, Mom. I don't think you have anything to worry about. And anyway, I prefer not to pledge allegiance to a political party.

No matter what you say I believe many of the things you say you learned are genetically coded into you. The way you began speaking (a complete sentence) and never cutting your finger when helping chop vegetables with a sharp knife...I am always amazed at your insight and intelligence and talents you DECIDE to show.
