I ALLOWED myself to LOSE myself

I let myself laugh today- I mean REALLY laugh. It felt so very good to let my “parental” hair down and ALLOW myself to LOSE myself in a fit of giggles with my week away from being 16 year old girl over a silly pair of flesh colored sparkly thong underwear! So often I feel like I have to be the staunch parent; always admonishing, always training. Today, however, while bra and panty shopping with and for said child, I just allowed myself to laugh! As both of us almost ended up on the floor of the lingerie section in the middle of JC Penny, dissolved into a mess of uncontrolled giggles, I felt like my old self today. I felt good today. Better still, I felt alive today. I think I’ll do it again sometime- allow myself to lose myself, that is!
