readytoemerge

There was a showdown in my closet this morning, and it wasn’t pretty! Me vs. Clothes. I was still waking up. Im not a morning person so this takes some time. The pants were to loose (I lost about 25 pounds since last summer). I began digging thru my clothes. The showdown had begun. One pair of loose pants, 15 pair of too tight pants. After 10 minutes I left my closet with my sides buldging over my very snug waistband feeling low and defeated.  I fought my closet and my closet won…this time.

Not long after separating from my husband (who am I kidding - he left), my sister gave me a beautiful card that hangs on my fridge to remind and inspire me. It simply says, “Just when the caterpillar thought the world was over… it became a butterfly”. I want to become the “butterfly” I know is there in me. I just feel totally stuck in this cocoon. Sometimes I think Im even content (briefly) to just withdraw from the world and stay a fat, squishy caterpiller. But when I do peek outside, I see a life I want to be a part of. Im READY TO EMERGE and fly! Now, can someone please help me out of this damn cocoon… its a little tight…must have shrunk in the dryer…anybody?…hello?
