I had a moment the other day that made me think of this thread... I was getting ready for work, and happened to glance up as I was passing by the mirror. I won't get into what I normally see, or what I normally have problems with, since that isn't the point of this thread.
But...for an instant...my hair fell perfectly. Makeup was good. I was wearing a tank and a pair of boyshorts, and they seemed like they were cut exactly for my body. Everything was right, and for once, I didn't see anything I wanted to change. I smiled, and it was like, "whoa...I actually feel pretty!" It was a totally great feeling.
