Flower Shoes
Another night missed. It made me giggle though. I got home, got out the computer and was laying on the couch thinking about my day. The next thing I remember is I am waking up with my laptop laying on my lap...guess I was more tired than I thought.
For the most part I guess, yesterday was a good day - if you take out the work part. Almost spent the day thinking about countdowns. Countdown until NOLA - as of last night 28. But there was another countdown of sorts which weighed on my heart a little bit at the end of the night - 2 Fridays remaining for my normal Friday routine. First countdown - Happy. Second countdown - Not as happy.
As I woke up this morning and listening to the wind howl as it swarmed around the house - I started my day contemplating over different aspects of my life, but I will not bore you with those details (at least not today). The electricity then went out and I headed into my happy place early - where I could proceed with finishing my hair and getting ready for the day.
I went about my normal business today, at the same time trying to adjust to what my new Saturdays will entail in the very near future. I shared in a friend's excitement as her son will be preparing to go test for his black belt in a few months. I giggled with a friend that I have found that no matter how hard we try to put on our angry faces, it just doesn't work on each other. Had the opportunity to see a friend be thrilled at the fact that her shirt is going to print and she will be able to raise money for a local charity. I got to read another beautifully written recap by a friend who is currently in the midst of another chapter with one of her amazing children. It's all of these moments that I need to keep their energy with me for the days when the stress becomes too much.
There are certain changes in life that I do not accept very well. But I am trying. Even if it's just to wear a smile on the outside.

for some weird reason I keep coming back to these shoes. Not that I would ever ear them or have an occasion to to wear them but I like them. They remind me of the movie Breakfast at Tiffany's or My Fair Lady. I think a hat with a matching foliage would be appropriate.
