A few days ago my dear husband asked if I wanted to go out for NYE and I said NEGATIVE. I didn't even think twice about it or even struggle to say NO.. It just rolled off my tongue and kinda rude too. But he knows me so VERY well he didn't think twice either and said OKAY. You see the thought of going out on NYE to me means I'd more than likely have to dress UP. Don't get me wrong I do like to look and dress nice. I just don't usually look forward to SHOPPING for fancy stuff. As a matter of fact he enjoys shopping for ME more than I enjoy it. But then maybe that's just a man thing.
As much as I love to see dresses on the rack, in an advertisement, or on other women, I don't like them much on ME. That's because I've got a sick twisted kinda messed up MIND. Having lost 55 pounds since the summer of 2013 you'd think I'd jump at the chance to buy NEW clothes. But sadly I really don't.. I haven't yet crossed over and I've often wondered if I ever will.
Flash forward to today - NYE. Two things happened: 1) We get invited to another NYE semi-dressy party, 2) I go to the Avenue to make a return for a really nice scarf and leather jacket combo my hubby gifted me for Christmas. For those of you who are not familiar with the Avenue it's a PLUS size store. The jacket didn't fit. At first I was bummed about it but then realize it DIDN'T fit! I needed a smaller size. That to me was pretty cool. I go in to make the exchange but they no longer had that jacket. It had sold out.
Therefore, I decided to exchange it for something else. And guess what I eneded up replacing it with? A DRESS!! Haha I'm laughing because GOD really has a miraculous way of sending us MESSAGES. I do BELIEVE it was a sign because the last thing I was looking for was a freaking DRESS. And it was the LAST one they had in MY size too. Now who has a cute sassy dress to rock at tonights NYE party? ME! Haha Thank you Jesus! =)
I don't know what will come out of this 4 week challenge. But one thing that WILL come out of 2015 are NEW BEGINNINGS. It's TIME for me to step forward and GROW from my old ways of thinking and doing. I wish EVERYONE a joyous night tonight. And that your 2015 bring YOU opportunities for new ADVENTURES as well.
Peace & Love to All
Mrs. J
