A stunningly beautiful day. Blue skies. Shimmery heat. A fresh breeze. Green and blowy trees...all good things outside. Inside...cranky people, uncooperative people, frustrated students, broken pencil leads and smudged test papers and unread passages and people who talk too loudly...all cranky things inside. I think I shall stay outside today. I am looking forward to an afternoon of shopping for my sister's 29th birthday. I am looking forward (really, I'm not kidding) to doing my toning exercises this evening because I am seeing results and because it makes me feel so much better emotionally. I am looking forward to being around happy people...and a sugar free iced coffee.
Personal success...purchased new underwear for the summer...tops, down a full size...bottoms, down a size, plus?! Pulled four pair of summer capris out of the closet yesterday...they can no longer be worn because they are too big...sad, I will have to go shopping again. Pulled a dress out which no longer fits. Shall have to buy another one. About getting rid of over-sized clothing...there is a loss of security when one does this. I am shedding more than pounds and clothes. I am shedding a part of life, a way of thinking, old habits...a way of being which has been mine for a long time. I am throwing away the Linus security blanket and it does leave one a little rattled. My closet looks different when I open it. My mind has not yet caught up with the body...but it shall indeed get there...and the more I stay away from cranky people, the faster the success comes.
