Overheard

I do hope you overindulged last evening. I did.

Two 12 year old girls were in shopping recently. They were trying on make-up. Some of their comments during their shopping experience made me smile.

"My eyes feel pretty." says girl, as she is applying mascara from the tester.

Note to self - Keep putting it on til it feels pretty. Don't look pretty, feel pretty!

"Do I have too much makeup on?" "My dad doesn't like it when I have makeup on." says girl.

"What he doesn't know, won't hurt him", says same girl very matter-of-factly.

It pleases me that so many women, men and girls feel so very comfortable to share all of those little secrets that spill out in my presence.

Just one of the many things I am thankful for.

Happy New Year.
