I work so hard to instill values and self-esteem in my daughters so that, hopefully, they will 'find their own', the way that you did. It's not always easy to buck the trend but I tell my daughters that, if they're true to themselves, they'll be stronger and happier in the long run. And your post is proof that this is true.Nappy Valley Housewifehttp://nappyvalleyhousewife.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7290395635850697105.post-36846657759699477042010-05-26T16:08:44.832-04:002010-05-26T16:08:44.832-04:00Who wants to be in the cool crowd, your friends ha...Who wants to be in the cool crowd, your friends have substance.Booperkithttp://www.booperfunk.com/Booperkit/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7290395635850697105.post-78244152123700904722010-05-26T14:53:21.893-04:002010-05-26T14:53:21.893-04:00Lovely post.

That sounds a bit sad but actually we all went our different ways after school - living abroad etc - but stay in touch. <br /><br />We all have our own separate lives and careers and kids but when we meet we don't hark back to the "good old days". We are all so relaxed in each other's company. We know so much about each other and accept each other for what we are.<br /><br />(Brings out hanky and wipes away a tear).Dumdadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00070838905120958459noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7290395635850697105.post-49864479166690662952010-05-26T14:33:08.022-04:002010-05-26T14:33:08.022-04:00How lovely that you've stayed in touch...
