----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- realization I having a bit of the "poor me's" lately. I mean here I am, 40 something years old starting over..and I realized something yesterday. I have never owned a new car, I've never lived in a brand new house, I've never (save for when I was a child) been on a vacation where I didn't stay with someone, or share a hotel room with someone. 80% of my wardrobe is hand me downs, everything in my house is lent items or items bought at garage sales or things passed on from family or friend. I get my haircut professionally about once every two years, I've had 2 pedicures in my life and both of those were after age 40. Now don't misunderstand I know many people have it worse off than me..I know that... But I've come to the realization that at this point in my life, given the situation I am in. I am probably never going to be able to change those things. I will probably never own a new car, a bigger home. I will never be that girl who goes to the mall shopping just to shop and come home with a summer wardrobe of nice new things. And most of the time, I'm ok with that...but for some reason it's hit me recently..and it makes me sad.
