"I like you, Me!"

Several years ago, when my husband and I were engaged, he caught me doing something in the bathroom that embarrassed me... I was standing in front of the mirror, smiling at myself, and saying in a cheery 5 year old's voice, "I like you, me!" It was a great moment, though. I realized---even with my then fiance, I wasn't comfortable fully embracing myself. I liked the idea of it--and people might have used the word "brazen" to describe me, but, in truth, I care what people think.
My friend Liz started a blog, and listening to her inspired me to start my own. My husband writes one, several friends of mine have one... we'll see what I discover by blogging. Hopefully, my glee at being able to look at myself in the mirror and declare my "like" for what I see will only grow.
