You know what I'm looking forward to?

I'm looking forward to the day when I can fit into the little blue dress that's been hanging in my closet for as long as I can remember. The one I bought when I was 19.

I'm looking forward to the morning my alarm goes off for work and I'm excited to get up and get ready and do my hair and put on makeup. Because I feel good about the way I'm going to look that day.

I'm looking forward to the day that I can go shopping in any store and see the cute little dress hanging on a rack and know that when I try it on, in whatever size that may be, it's going to fit.
