Make Someone Feel Beautiful

---

Little me…

Wanted long hair…wanted to be Marcia Brady…was destined to be Jan but that’s a whole nother story…

It was non negotiable…pixie cut it was…so one Christmas that little girl asked Santa for a wig…a long haired curly wig…

And third grader me went to school that new year wearing a dress…panty hose…long pretend hair…so proud…so excited…

Looking back…this old gal is rather mortified…embarrassed even for that girl in the wig…was more than likely a laughingstock…

But you wouldn’t have known…because that teacher…that third grade teacher didn’t miss a beat…

Well who do we have here?..she exclaimed…and for the rest of the morning…until the wig got hot and the hose annoying…that little girl…felt beautiful…

Never wore it again…but never forgot how wonderful that amazing teacher was…

And so it is…in life…make someone feel beautiful…

It’s that simple…

And this husband of mine…agrees…
