Happy New Year!
Thanks to all my readers/followers, this year has been a great adventure blogging. I look forward to 2010, I have many ideas to better this blog, and sharing with all of you. I have gained so much inspiration from reading other blogs and connecting with other bloggers via Twitter & Facebook. Let's all keep it up and truly make 2010 a plus year! Have a great New Year, be safe & don't forget its good to laugh at your self sometimes. Live, Love & Laugh! Those are my words to live by in 2010
I have to share this story with you, since we are talking about laughter. Many years ago when my niece was about 7 or 8 yrs old, she said something so funny, but yet so touching to me. All my family & I were at a 4th of July BBQ, it was a hot summer day in LA. All the kids were in the pool, being the fun lovable person, I jumped in with all the kids. I normally don't like to go into the pool, because I am overweight and embarrassed to wear a bathing suit in front of lots of people. It was so hot, that I said screw it and jumped in and was having lots of fun splashing around with the kids. My niece came up to me & gave me the biggest hug, she said to me "Tia, I like hugging you, because you are FLUFFY!" I started laughing so hard that I started to cry, I thought it was the funniest, sweetest things she ever said to me. It made me realized it was OK to be overweight, because my family & friend accepted me the way I am. My nieces & nephews all loved to hug & cuddle with me because I was fluffy. My niece just had just figured out a cute way to say it. Since that day its been a joke between my niece and my family & I, we are not fat we are fluffy!
Today on the Internet I came across this t-shirt which reminded me of this story, I am totally going to buy it and rock it with pride!
