Today a friend and I (actually more her than me) tackled my slightly outdated wardrobe and so tonight I have colour coded clothes and that great feeling that comes from everything hanging beautifully. I say that this feat was more her than me as the afternoon consisted of me taking all the clothes out of my wardrobe and trying them on for approval by her and my aunt. It was hysterical. I haven’t laughed so hard for a long while. The two of them were languishing on the bed making either approving noises or pulling faces which meant that whatever item of clothes I had on to be hung in the wardrobe or in the pile to be sent to the secondhand shop.
 
Since the experience of cancer, I’ve realised that life is waaaaay too short and so I’m working on embracing each day. I think, that for a little while now and particularly since becoming a mum, I’ve forgotten that I’m a girl. It’s been so easy to dress in clothes that don’t make me feel good and are not really flattering. The feminine side of my life had got a little waylaid. I realised that I should be embracing who I am and celebrating the fact that LIFE IS GOOD! Of course, working on losing a few kgs always helps.
 
The wardrobe and I needed true girlfriend-type brutal honesty. It was slightly scary to begin with but was such a liberating experience and now I am looking forward to shopping for some new ones to add to the ones that are left which really suit me.
 
It’s a great feeling!
