Does it really make a difference?

Do you ever wonder if small changes really make a difference? I believe they do, but every once in a while I get a reminder. Today was one of those days. I did something different, just a tiny thing, and every time I caught my reflection it surprised me.

What did I do? I blow dried my bangs down instead of off to the side. That's it. No big deal. It didn't take any extra time. It didn't take any extra effort. There wasn't any big or monumental reason to do it. I don't even know why I did. But the difference is dramatic - it changes the way I look completely. In fact, if I'd tried to buy a bottle of wine I bet I would have gotten carded (okay, wishful thinking but my 44 year old husband got carded recently so I'm grasping at straws:)

So if you don't think little things, little changes don't make a big difference just try it. Style your hair different. Take a different route to work or school. Walk to the store instead of driving. Give the love of your life an unexpected hug or phone call. Anything...just try something different and see if it makes a difference.
