Ready to Wear

Ah, the grandma zipper up in light sky blue. Or the cutie pie button up polka dot & bird print sleeper shirt. As long it buttons or zippers in the front, it shall suit the needs. Apparently putting your arms over you head - like putting on a shirt - not really an option early on. In any case, cutie pie was the choice here, of course.

Other items found on the same shopping excursion were those plaques to hang in your home. Luckily I find I don't need inspiration wood blocks hanging in my home to remind me how I want to live. (Ironically, I do have a large/huge Keep Calm & Carry On sign in my office at work. So not intentionally throwing shade at anyone with said art work.) When I saw this quote Life isn't about waiting for the storm to pass. Its about learning to dance in the rain. I thought to myself, I am certainly glad I don't have to be taught that. I am already a fan of - and skilled at - dancing in the rain. And something else on I saw tonight was like its ok to get sad, down, cry. Do it. And then get over it.

Watch Pearl Jam TWENTY, with the volume up.

Oh. How am I doing? Getting a little nervous but not overwhelmed. Good to have a pulse. Mic check. One two. One two. Few days too tired but few days very happy. Staying home, eating chips and guacamole and watching the Tribe Called Quest documentary, has a place. Been meaning to get around to that. Also practicing a little YOLO/You-Only-Live-Once type activities isn't terrible. We'll take on some gnarly overdue household items this week: wills & finishing the guest room (both overdue). But no big a-ha epiphanies. There is power in accepting your life and liking it.
