This morning, reading the Gunnison Country Times, I noticed their special ‘Homes’ edition included a remodeled home across the street from a close friend of mine.

I have only seen this home on the outside and the article includes several “before” and “after” photographs of the interior.  It made me start thinking about all the “befores” and “afters” in my life.

It has always been my preference to look at the “before” and “after” pictures in fashion magazines.  The photos, reflecting makeup, hair, clothing and sometimes even surgical improvements, look fabulous.  As a consumer, I am left wondering how I can achieve such success. More importantly, I was thinking about the “before” and “after” for my insides, my emotional and mental self.  My initial thought was “if right now is ‘before’, when is ‘after’?”
