Must be nice

This is my daughter's beautiful hair after a summer of fun in the sun.

Must be nice to have hair this color, complete with highlights, without paying $100 or more.

I wouldn't know.

Actually, that's a lie. I did know, once upon a time. Of course, I was a child myself, so I certainly didn't appreciate it. Why is it that we appreciate things so much more when we don't have them? It's like when I used to think I was *gasp* fat....as a teenager I lamented my thighs.

Now, I would kill for those thighs! I need to learn to appreciate things when I have them. All those things I had when I was younger....beautiful bright hair color, smooth skin, good muscle tone....now only a memory. I wonder what things I have now, that I may take for granted or even dislike, that will only be a distant wish-I-had-that-again memory 20 years from now.

She's so cute!

Ya, I used to hate my tummy....before it was riddled with stretch marks, extra fat, and extra skin. I'd kill for that tummy now.

I know it! I look at my old pictures when I thought I was fat and just wish I could look that way again!!! Maybe I should like the way I am now...it could be worse huh! LOL!
