Just A Little Nsv Over The Weekend

[101driver 46]

Hi guys -

Just wanted to share because I thought many of you could relate. Over the Easter weekend we wanted to take pictures of the family. There are literally years and years of photos in our family albums WITHOUT me in the pictures (I always offer to take the pictures) because I didn't want to ever be photographed. Too painful to see those pictures. Well, this weekend, I found myself jumping in and asking my daughter to take a picture of me and the hubby. First time in soooo long I've found myself OK with that! I have a long way to go until I feel entirely comfortable on film, but I thought it was a good sign that my mind is changing and I'm liking myself a little bit more these days.

That's not a small NSV. It's HUGE!! I find myself taking pictures of myself now and I've never done that before. I take pics because I really like the outfit I have on, or because I like my hair that day. NEVER would have happened before.

I'm thrilled that you're now in the family pictures! That's terrific for you and for them!!

That is a great NSV! I too hate taking pictures and can't wait to feel comfortable again doing that. Congrats!

OMG--- you sound just like me..... My children do not have any photos of me. I feel terrible. My surgery is schedule for next month. I am oh

so excited, but fearful of the day after surgury. Could you get along okay. Could you be by yourself? When could you drive again? Do you have bad or large scars?

I am looking forward to getting my life back.... Congrats and I hope only the best for you to come!
