It was a difficult week of worrisome tests that ended with two days in the hospital and I can happily say that it all had a happy ending. Since this is not the "Wellness" forum I won't get into all that, I just wanted to say that I learned something very superficial about myself on Saturday. I tried to throw on a plain old pair of jeans, sweatshirt and sneakers so I'd be supercomfortable to spend the day at the hospital, but I just couldn't do it. I had to get up two hours early to make sure I had time to wear just the right jeans, a cute LOGO top, ankle boots with heels (comfortable ones), make-up done right, all the finishing touches. In the end, it was still a t-shirt and jeans, but when I got to the hospital, my husband looked at me, sick as he felt and said, "You look nice, honey".. and I knew it was worth it. Just as important, I felt like I looked good all day and if we had to have a difficult day, it might as well be in cute clothes. Here's why this is remarkable... a couple or three years ago I would have grabbed the first clean clothes I found and ran out the door. I'm not sure what's changed but I am sure of this and I'm also sure that this observation will be challenged here on this forum ~ I'm treated with more respect when I'm dressed nicely... that includes everyone from the valet parking attendants to the security guards to the nurses, doctors, pharmacists, etc. Certainly we know that you cant judge a person's character by the clothes they are wearing, but unfortunately, I think that when people have only a minute to size us up, clothes matter. I'm not saying this is right, Im just saying it is how it is... IMHO.
