Megan: I look great! My mom told me I look great.
Mom: You look great? (Hoping to get more out of her.)
Megan: Yes, you told me I look great.
Mom: Well, you do look great.
Megan: Yes. And you told me I can make good choices too.
Somehow, somewhere she has remembered something. I'm glad. How great it would be to be able to tell yourself each day (like you meant it) that you look great and you are able to make right choices. What a great life. It doesn't matter that most of the time she doesn't match - still learning all about that. It also doesn't matter that her hair is 'done' when it's actually combed - no fancy stuff around here. (They have a habit of running when I get out the comb.) How great that even though she knows she makes mistakes sometimes - she really is capable of making good choices. What a great way to live your life. I need to make that my mantra too - I look great and I can make good choices.
