Moments D241: Hand-me-downs

You know, when I was a young girl I had mixed feelings about hand-me-down clothes. I always enjoyed the rush of rummaging through the clothes, but there was always this sense of disappointment too. The wrong size, a strange pattern, a weird colour. Somehow, things just didn’t seem to be right. That sense of disappointment eventually overshadowed the rush of new clothes.

Today’s moment: Realizing that hand-me-downs as an adult rocks!

Maybe it was just the pains of growing up and not being a standard size/shape. Maybe it was because I was high on hormones and nothing seemed right. Whatever the cause, tonight when my Mom asked me if I’d like to try on some of her old clothes that she was giving away….I gave it a shot. In the end, was actually pretty excited about possibly having a couple of new, interesting pieces of clothing to add to my collection. And, the icing on the cake: it all fit. Huh. How things can shift!

Today’s moment is about revisiting old behaviours/expectations with a new perspective.
