It might sound silly to some...

I've recently had a lot of changes in my life. Actually, the last 11 months have been pure (fill in the blank), but things are finally starting to look up. I won't go into all of it, heck I'd sit here all day and post if that's what I planned to do..lol. The short version is that I experienced a horribly traumatic event and instead of helping me cope with it, my husband cheated on me for several months before admitting it. I forgave him, attempted to go on and ultimately ended up divorced. Somewhere along the way I lost my self-esteem, all of it. I used to be the kind of girl that wore heels everyday, always had my nails professionally done, always had my hair done nice and make up on and I stopped doing all of that. Recently, while leaving for work with my hair done and make up on, I slid on a pair of heels and wore them to work that day. You know what? I felt instantly more confident! So, I wore heels the next day, and the next and I felt my self-esteem coming back. Last weekend I was out shopping with my kids for school supplies and decided I'd stop and get my nails done, I haven't had them done for over a year! I felt even more confident after that. Maybe it sounds silly to some, but when I look nicer, I feel better about myself and more confident. If it takes heels and nails to do so, then so be it! :) What makes you feel good about yourself?
