Today, a four-year-old very sincerely complemented me on my summer dress. It is easy to dress a little girl because every dress is a magical costume without thought to body image. I took her compliment and embraced it. I let every little misgiving I had about wearing a summer dress in my less than perfect form and realized that I was wearing a dress under the glory of the sun and that little action is the stuff that makes a season.
In that vein I gave myself completely to the magic of sunshine. I let myself dance freely and songs came to join the dance steps that my feet decided were appropriate. Happiness is there for the taking, just listen when Ellie tells you she likes your dress.
