(The view from the bus stop.)
As I stood shivering in the rain waiting for the bus today, I thought to myself..."why didn't I have the sense to bring my sweater?"
But that thought lasted for about 20 seconds, then my mind started to wander. (It does that from time to time.)
I started thinking about "dress," and the significance behind it.
The way a person dresses can say a lot about them, in my opinion. In some cases, it can even reveal a person's very philosophy on life.
Well, I'm afraid my lack of weather-appropriate attire may be misinterpreted, so I'll just explain.
I wasn't dressed in shorter sleeves, open toed shoes and no sweater because I like to get drenched and freeze...nah.
Just as some people "dress for success," I dress for the weather I hope for.
I could wear boots, a scarf and carry an umbrella on a day like today...but my mind and heart are looking forward to summer.
Just as an aspiring photographer would take photos to build their portfolio (before) graduation, I'm just looking ahead, that's all.
And you know what? Every day that passes brings me one day closer to the thing I hope for, warm, sunny days.
Watermelon.
Swimming.
Hiking.
Yeah...summer....I'm ready for summer, and you can tell that just by looking at me.
What could I tell by looking at you?
That I've been home all day with a little girl- and didn't want to get out because I feel yucky looking :)
ReplyDeleteI like to dress for how I want to feel. Like if I'm feeling very yucky, I like to dress up and go out. Sitting at home in my jammies just makes it all worse.
ReplyDeleteI look like a bus hit me, oh wait, I did get hit by a bus. Life:) You are such a awesome writer.
