Vanity and Ego Stroking

I'll admit, sometimes I am a bit vain.  But what's wrong with wanting to look decent every once in a while?  OK, so my wardrobe needs a LOT of help, but sometimes, I can rock it.  And even if I look like shit to everyone else, as long as I feel like a million bucks - that is all that really matters.  Today, I was having one of those good days.  The hair flipped and waved just right, I got my nails done, and I'm generally just feeling good about me.  Sure, there are probably about 10 lbs I could lose, but overall, that's not a terrible place to be.

And then tonight I got a wonderful email from a client.  I nearly cried, she was so incredibly sweet and genuine.  It is so rewarding to be appreciated for something you put your heart and soul and energy into.  Especially when it is a volunteer project.  I am sure my client has no idea how much I needed that right now, but I did.  And it is an amazing feeling.  When most days I wonder why I still participate in this particular organization, today I knew WHY without a doubt.

Here's hoping that tomorrow is just as fulfilling.
