Pepper Scraps

The morning I took this picture I had planned on a PJs day. Just rest and relax don’t worry about getting me or the boys dressed. I just didn’t feel up to it, I was in a slump.

I have been having a hard week with my mother’s illness and not being able to be right there for her. It’s been a hard week with the boys. And so I just haven’t been feeling happy, pretty much have been depressed.

But around noontime I realized I had plans for the day. I was to get together with the ladies from my bible study and enjoy their company. I suddenly had to get showered and beautified. I rushed around the house finding an okay outfit (hemming my own pair of pants for the first time), making my hair look half decent, and putting on some makeup (more than just my BareMinerals).

What did I realize after I got on my clothes and makeup. I felt better. I was almost all the way out of my slump. I felt energized and rejuvenated. I felt pretty.

So if you are feeling like you are just not up to get ready for the day. Or if you are just not one to put on makeup if you are just going to be around the house. Do it anyways. You will be amazed at how nice clothes and a little makeup makes you feel.
