Yes, that's what I'm looking toward....sunnier days ahead. They will come, no doubt. So right now I'm just taking a deep breath and trying to remember that fact. It seems appropriate that my favorite Velvet shipment should come now to brighten my mood and dreams of summer and sun. I love their linen, and I get so excited every year to start wearing it. Yes, I know vacations are being cancelled now, and that we are all unsure about what our summer travel plans will be. I remain hopeful though, and I can almost feel the grass beneath me on a warm day, and a picnic in the park. The fresh air and warm breezes are what we need...it will make life better. I also know that worrying about what I might wear on such a day might seem out off sorts with the urgency of the immediate issues at hand, but here's the thing, I can't bare to listen to the news ALL the time, I need a break. I can't be stressed out ALL the time. I need to have some semblance of normalcy, where I get to think about what I'll wear on a summer day, or other simple things of little consequence. Little indulgences and creature comforts.
My kids are stir crazy and I've heard them sing "Pineapple, coconut, big banana, two squishy oranges right behind yah"....many, many many times. Video gaming is becoming a profession at our house and they have basically blown thru the "stockpile" of food like locusts.
The upshot of this is I need a distraction from reality, is that so bad? I can't be the only one. Here's my distraction....I LOVE this skirt!!
Here's to a healthy and peaceful week of homeschooling our kids, and by homeschooling I mean letting them run wild in every corner of the house while we push the 5 o'clock cocktail hour up a couple hours. We will come thru all of this and we must keep our sanity, compassion, smiles and simple joys in the meantime.
