NSV-Small but powerful to me

Like many other areas today we had a torential downpour this morning.  I slept in to begin with, my basement flooded, forgot to make lunches last night and my Dad left his lights on and called for a boost in the middle of the downpour.  I get to work SOAKING wet with no other clothes.  My boss says we have some spare shirts that we use for give-a-ways just grab one of those.  Well - four months ago I wouldn't have even thought to look in the pile as there wouldn't have been one that came close to fitting.  Today - there was! 

It is the small things that make you feel good.  Now I am dry with a smile (and a new shirt-lol).

that is awesome, Kristie. I bet that smile won't leave your face all day long.

Kristie, that's a huge thing! Seriously, I'd probably physically recoil at the suggestion I head over to a pile of clothes to find something to wear, knowing the unlikelihood of finding something that'd fit.

Enjoy your freedom!

WOW!  Sounds like your day started off pretty rough!  I hope that fitting into that shirt puts a smile on you for the rest of the day. :)  That's great Kristie, I am so happy for you.  I know the panic that sets in when we are offered a t-shirt in those situations.  My old boss used to get them for us and they never fit, it was such a panic inducing thing for me.  Enjoy the rest of your day :)

Boy, talk about turning a lemon into lemonade - what a ray of sunshine in a day that started out so poorly!   I totally agree with you, Kristie - sometimes the smallest things give you the biggest smiles! So glad for you!

Congratulations Kristie.  It's truly is funny that the little things make such a big impression on us.  I have 4 older sister now of whom have a weight issue. Today I actually was able to wear a hand me down skirt to work that one of them recently gave me.  I honestly think that this is the first time ever that I was able to wear something that one of them has worn. Who knew that hand me downs could make me smile.

Keep up the good work and I wish you much continued success on your journey.
