Something small but good happened this morning - or maybe it's not so small, I don't know.  I was walking to work down Beacon Street in the sunlight, wearing my favorite jeans and my beat-up sneakers and my blue Rockport sweatshirt and my red peacoat with my fuzzy scarf, eating a leftover piece of a whoopie pie for breakfast, with my backpack over one shoulder and the wind blowing my hair in my face, when I caught my reflection in a shop window.  And I suddenly thought, I like myself.  I like that person reflected in that window.  She's casual and messy and unique and awesome and I want to be friends with her.

It was a new thought.  I don't think I've ever felt quite that way about myself; when I catch my reflection I'm usually thinking man i look like crap or why can't i have nice hair or something like that.  But you know what?  I'm pretty cool the way I am.  I like that girl in the shop window.  And me and her together, we'll get through this brokenhearted, shitty time and have the rest of our lives to live joyfully.   I like being me.
