1. When you lose weight, you become a smaller person. When you become a smaller person, you buy smaller clothes, and those clothes fold up nicely into small shapes when you pack to go somewhere.
2. When you become a mom, you realize how very little you need to pack for yourself. My one "extra" item? A book!
3. When you're able to fit everything you'll need for a night in Boston into a small backpack, you feel accomplished. You've come a long way, baby, since the days when you thought you needed at least two backpacks of items for one night!
4. When you pack a backpack and take a double-decker train car into Boston, you feel a little more alive than you did the day before. You marvel again at the beauty of the city, and the busyness of it. You enjoy it for a day, and then are ready to return to the peacefulness and quiet of your town, population 900, knowing that the city is just a car and train ride away for the next time you want to return.
