While I was in the hospital, I showered and did my full beauty routine each day...and I felt wonderful and was able to return to feeling normal so much faster than with my first (in which I gave myself six weeks to neglect Carahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00415153598945542630noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9186456.post-34347647780165058012008-01-11T12:28:00.000-08:002008-01-11T12:28:00.000-08:00That was a very inspiring and motivating post.

In a demin skirt and sweater, I thought I looked fine, but then thought, perhaps if I put just a little more into my appearance, I'd feel more motivated for school. And you know what? I did! I felt more confident all day and more ready to get my work done. <BR/><BR/>God bless,<BR/>Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9186456.post-76460771121773955572008-01-11T03:06:00.000-08:002008-01-11T03:06:00.000-08:00What a heartwarming post,it is so important to dre...What a heartwarming post,it is so important to dress well everyday,not only is is good for the people who see you but also for yourself.I find that once I am dressed prettily I feel like facing the day in a feminine and domestic frame of mind.I cannot understand how people can live amongst dirt and disaray as there is nothing more depressing.The comfort of home is so vital to our wellbeing.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9186456.post-83841693582145877412008-01-10T17:28:00.000-08:002008-01-10T17:28:00.000-08:00Excellent post!

It is just hard to find nice skirts/dresses. I am working on my sewing. The only time I dress sloppy is if I am helping dh in the shop. It doesn't pay to dress nice out there because I would get full of stain.

I'm amazed at how much more gets done in a day, and smoothly at that, when I make it a point to dress, wash, and comb my hair first thing. I'm not tempted to lounge about with coffee because I just don't want to do that in a wool skirt, twinset, and pearls. I have a home to keep!!

Can anything be more important than nurturing the spirits of those we live with, & fostering a sense of & appreciation for beauty? I have a friend who would benefit greatly from reading this post.
