Love Yourself - Blob And All

---

This old gal…

Went on a mission…to find…shorts that fit…headed to Farm and Fleet…this neighbor of mine…wearing the cutest pair of khakis from there…elastic waistband…good length…on sale…surely blobby me…can’t go wrong…with the elastic drawstring waist…but surely…blobby me…was wrong…

Let’s just say…the blob needs one size…the hips and legs…need another…looked like clown pants…waist comfy…tiny stick legs…emerging from all that extra fabric flopping around…where…complained whiny me to that co-shopper of mine…is an old gal…supposed to find clothes that fit…maybe…came his reply…you should try Goodwill…

And what to my wondering eyes should appear…but three pairs of shorts…just like those that shrunk…but in the next size…vintage shorts…out of style shorts…low rise…comfy…no stick legs…will look great with the colorful ribbed knit tops…shorts…

This old gal…and that husband of hers…breathed…a sigh of relief…for this shopping frenzy…if one is being truly honest…wasn’t about the blob or shrunken shorts…it was about…change…that inevitable change…that hits…with time…that change…that ever so often…nibbles away…at the confidence…of old gal you…looking in the mirror…

But with age…comes wisdom…and with wisdom…comes the freedom…to accept change…find peace…and love old gal you…blob…and all…
​
And this husband of mine…agrees…
