rh, Always remember, it's not how pretty or ugly the wrapper is, but what's inside. If those women are so hung up on being the prettiest ones there, so be it, but you, rh, will be the diamond that sparkles! Your personality is all you need.
I want you to remember this...always smile, look people in the eye, nod when they speak and laugh till you hurt. People will take more away from their conversations w/you if you are having a good time and can socialize and talk w/them.
The pretty wrappers, well, they peel off and sometimes what's underneath doesn't always count for much if they are relying on the wrapper to get them places in life. It's always what is inside that counts the most.
Go and have a wonderful time.
Sit quietly, the answers will reveal themselves when you least expect them to. The past is gone, the present is a gift and you need to focus on today, allow the future to reveal itself when it is ready.
