PICTURES FROM THE PAST

Tonight Natalie and I did something that I have been wanting to do for a long time but rather dreaded because I knew that it would get me all emotional. We pulled out all of the pictures in my possession and began going through them. I hadn't seen them in years, five years for sure, and some of them longer than that. Some I had totally forgotten about and some that were a real surprise like when I was totally skinny. Most people don't realize that I was ever totally skinny and most of the time I don't remember it either. I wish I had been more appreciative and seen myself as what I really was at the time. Most of my life I lived without having a very good opinion of myself. It is funny how we come to realize so much about ourselves when we get older. I realized that one time I was skinny and very good looking and I didn't even know it. So we shared a trip down memory lane and I shed a tear or two.
