Though heralded with nought of fear,
Or outward sign or show:
Though only to the inward ear
It whispers soft and low;
Though dropping, as the manna fell,
Unseen, yet from above,
Noiseless as dew-fall, heed it well,--
Thy Father's call of love.
J. G. WHITTIER.
There is nothing more depressing, more stressful than clothes shopping. Emily and I headed out one Sunday after Church for what we thought would be a quick shopping spree. In and out like a bandit. Yeah, right, in what world?
After spending the morning searching through the racks for the appropriate items, we ended up being exhausted, hungry and totally discouraged. One can try on all the outfits, some end up being too tight, too small, too short, droopy, etc. You name it, we experienced it. It's really depressing for a woman's self confidence!
Just take these three way mirrors that do nothing for our figures. I stared at myself from every angle and all I wanted was to run home to hide. Good Lord, is that what I look like? I have never felt so frappy, unattractive, sloppy and overweight in my life! Let's not forget the outrageous prices.
We finally walked out with three items and totally dejected, our pride wounded from every side. I don't have any idea how a woman is to feel beautiful clothes shopping? We all have such different body shapes that there is no way we can look good in one type of dress or outfit. I can see why rich people tailor make their clothes so they fit perfectly.
We spent the rest of the day avoiding all reference and all mirrors. Came home and put on our mismatched, comfy outfits. Yeah, we were very comfortable.
Have a blessed day everyone.
