Comfortable in my own skin

Today a rather handsome (and much younger!) yuppy professional man struck up a conversation with me in the check-out line of a swanky gourmet food grocery store. This is the first time this has happened in years. He knew I was married, from my wedding ring, so of course there was nothing to it, but it did give me a great NSV story to tell tonight!

50 pounds ago no man would even meet my gaze let alone strike up a random conversation with me just because he was in line behind me at the grocery store.

And I'm not afraid of the attention this time around. It is part of the process of being comfortable in my own skin.
