Wow, Thanks for being so open.  It really helps me to see your life - from your perspective.  And isn't that what we really want to do with those we love - see life as they see it?  Thanks for sharing your world with us.  You know we love you!

Thanks for giving a peek into your life!  Believe me - this one is true - there will be plenty of big deals in life and this isn't one of them - in the grand scheme of things!

As you get older, and the size of your waist expands, you see that the shape your noce, the snaggle tooth and all the other characteristics, all make you you - unique!

20) Being ok with the size of my waist, the shape of my nose, my snaggle tooth, my stretch marks, and the fact that I really shouldn't have plastic surgery
