Changes

Have you ever sat back and thought to yourself how much you have changed through the years? I don't mean just the wrinkles, the extra pounds & extra skin that magically appear, but all the little things too. For example, I grew up the only girl with 3 brothers. Now, I have 2 boys of my own. (Will I always be outnumbered?) I never was a "girly girl". I never dressed up like a princess. I never really cared about makeup until my late 20's. I never enjoyed shopping. I hated panty hose and any other sort of "girly undergarments". I typically owned only 2 pairs of shoes...one pair of sneakers to wear all week & one pair of Sunday shoes...and I was perfectly content with that.

Now fast forward to today. I found myself soooo excited when the UPS man brought me a box that contained my recently ordered boots. I thought they were so cute! Granted, I have no idea how long it will take to learn to walk in them. Never being a girly girl, I obviously wasn't much into wearing heels. Then after 2 foot surgeries 12 years ago, I have very, very slowly worked into heels...probably more to look my age than anything since I stand a whopping 5 feet tall without heels. I bought a pair of black boots about a year ago that were all of approx a 2 to 2-1/2 inch heel. Now these new ones, as cute as they may be, are at least 1 inch higher than the previous boots....and I walk like a penguin! But, they're cute, and for some odd reason, maybe just the fact that I have changed over the years, I am determined to learn how to walk in my new boots :)
