Sometimes I need to write. Just like a runner needs to get her shoes on, even with a foot and a half of snow on the ground, I find the need to sit down in front of my screen, turn on some of my favorite music, and allow my fingers to glide across the keys creating... expressing my art outwardly. It is almost as if my fingers move with the internal movements of my soul, my spirit.
Today my daughter and I went dress shopping. She was nominated onto the Homecoming Court and although it should be a huge honor, there have been mixed emotions and feelings as not everyone at the high school is honoring her or the other candidates. It seems there are those who are spreading untruths and making hurtful comments about her and some of the other nominees. I don't know why people choose unkindness. Unfortunately, it is a reality in our world, and one that breaks hearts.
Regardless of all of this, we put on our smiles, grabbed our purses and her heels, and went dress shopping today. And shopping is one of our favorite things to do together. We started at Grapevine Mills Mall and worked our way back towards Granbury. And yes, we found a dress; actually we found two, which required a choice. Truth be told, she couldn't make a bad decision. Both dresses were beautiful on her and either was a good choice. She chose, we paid, and we came home, collapsed on our couches and took naps while Julie and Julia played on the DVD.
Regardless of the cruel world "out there", home remains a warm, safe place to land.
Namaste
