After over a week away to help make some
important decisions about the future of our business, I can report
that all is copacetic (or at least approaching it) and I'm at last
comfortable coming back out to play. We had to do some serious
thinking about how we want to continue since we decided to carry on
with our little restaurant. And there's no doubt about it; some of
the decisions were based on our ages. Of course, that mindset has slopped
over into my thinking about how I want to conduct my own aging
generally and how all that affects personal style.
Consequently, I've been doing a lot of
consideration of what I want to personally accomplish and how I want the rest of my life to be. Some of that is inevitably about what I wear and
what I want to say with my choices. I have no big conclusions to
offer you, only an increased awareness that the process is really important to me. It
can be good to reach for a modicum of control where there seems to be
none. I hope to get much older, and hope to do it with as much
consciousness and thoughtfulness as possible, for as long as it's
fun.
I've missed you all, and am sorry that
I'm so far behind in getting around to see what you all are up to. I owe all of my blog-buddies some
catch-up time at your respective blogs and will make that the focus
for the rest of my week.
So, here's a What I Wore photo for your
consideration.
Wasn't hard to make a decision about how to dress. It
was bloody-blazing-hot and humid (your can see the indelicate sheen
of sweat on my chest) and I dressed to go off to the Big City for
supplies and a bite to eat with Dan on Sunday. Keeping it simple,
'cause it's serious summer-for-real now. A loose-waisted cotton
dress ( that Dan especially likes) over jeans to keep it comfortably casual. But, true to form, I couldn't bring myself to get too
casual, and chose minty high heels just because really wanted to wear
them. No jewelry except the wedding rings and a plain gold and
turquoise band, and lots of antiperspirant. Lots and lots of
antiperspirant ....
