A time for learning something new! Balance I understand. It's something to make a daily effort to achieve. Amazing how we can get knocked off when we think we have a handle on it already. Atleast you recognized it and adjusted. Keep it up! : )Twixhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03112782947827710096noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-308288649463011906.post-18322507548051854082010-12-17T19:31:54.633-08:002010-12-17T19:31:54.633-08:00I was just talking to someone the other day about ...I was just talking to someone the other day about the 'vain' things we do now that we didn't do before, when we were unhappy with our bodies (being overweight). There is a lot of upkeep when you start trying to keep up...<br /><br />I say spend the money and get your teeth fixed. I had this problem a few years back- I have 2 veneers that were yellow because I got them when I was a teenager, before whitening was an option and everyone had yellow teeth. Once bleaching became a normal thing my toothpaste naturally whitened all my teeth- except these two caps. I became SUPER self conscious of my smile because it looked like I had polka dot teeth.; A white one, a yellow one. A white one, another yellow one. It was horrific and it got to the point that I wouldn't smile if I could help it, and if I did, I tried to do it closed mouth.<br /><br />I finally sucked it up and did paid the money to get the veneers replaced with whiter veneers. Put it on my credit card. It's paid off now and I have a fabulous smile that I get compliments on all the time. And I LOVE IT. Who cares if everyone else likes my smile? I do; I want to smile all the time (and I do). I would do it again in a second- no question. I say do it- you'll be happy you did; and you'll feel better about yourself. Why not treat yourself to one thing that will make you happy?<br /><br />XO!<br /><br />DDizzy Girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15873685708946396027noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-308288649463011906.post-38299828669938230132010-12-17T14:29:35.783-08:002010-12-17T14:29:35.783-08:00Good for you Loretta and great for all the people ...Good for you Loretta and great for all the people that get to be welcomed by you.

But I wanted to be there so much, I didn't care and told myself to shutup. :) It lit me up. It was so worth stepping outside the zone.<br /><br />Look for the rewards and the positivity. You will find many of them in this new endeavor. Yay! There are always jerks.
