And a Tiara

 What happened to those days?  Did we grow up and realize that the Tiara was fake and the Tutu didn’t really match out business attire? 

I was never in dance class when I was younger ( hard to believe given how I turned out, right? I started off in gymnastics), but I remember always looking at the pictures of other little girls & wishing I could wear their Tutus & Tiaras.  Just the thought brings a smile to my face.

Whenever I look in the mirror and start to criticize my reflection, I think back to the days when the thoughts of  tutus & tiaras were all I needed to make me feel like a princess.  I then step back and smile.  Things may not be that simple and easy now, but for that split second in time – that thought – that memory – they are.
