People have commented that I seem to be much more fashion conscious. I dress better. I do my hair. I take good care of my skin. I get the impression people think I've become vain. I, on the other hand, just don't think they get it. I put some hard work into losing weight, and am finally seeing results. So I looked around at the other things in my life I was dissatisfied with and decided to try to make changes. Months later, better style, better hair, better skin. Behold! Effort yields results! I love your post because it said so clearly what I've been trying to communicate for weeks. Thanks. I recently have lost a bit of weight (again).

It's actually harder than it sounds, especially here in NYC. It's easy to start viewing people by their rolls, like pedestrian, or tourist, instead of a complete person. Great post!

Self esteem has to the most valuable thing we can have. It does take a decision, a plan and some action. I know must work at it everyday! Thanks for the thoughtful and inspiring post.

But then in the 9th season, Scully had to give him away because there were people after him. They did a closed adoption, and he is never seen from again. They talk about him, but he is forever with his new family. :) I love the X-Files.

I also plan to share this with my teenage son. He is the perfect age to think about what kind of person he would like to be, and how to earn his own respect. Oh, this was so well put.

We'll probably be in the States while you're here but it'd be great if you could swing by and feed the dog ;) Give a holler if you make it to Deutschland.
