I was thinking the other day that I've never given myself license to be happy. I have been happy, but I was operating without a license! I too, want to go legit!
No one else can grant you that license. Well, maybe some parents when they spoil their kids from early on.. my late hub was a recovering spoiled person, and I was always amazed at just how genuinely happy he could be with simple things, the things he loved. I decided I've got to create my own license though, a license to be happy with myself as I am. Being open to change and to continuing to evolve needn't involve self-recrimination.
