small victories

Quotes from the past 24 hours, the cumulative effect of which has made for a great mood on a friday:

"Oh my God, you're so skinny!"
(really? Thanks, because most days I still feel like I look like a beached whale.)

"I was really quite impressed. Very nicely done."
(Yesssss...)

"What have you done to yourself? You look amazing."
(trust me, it's all internal -- true joy in finding yourself will do that to you.)

"I love you more than you'll ever know."
(awww. and you'll never know how much that means to me.)

"My mama's hot."
(you know it, sistah.)
