While in Venice, there was a moment that hit me– You know those moments, those ah-ha moments that stop you in your tracks– That make you wake up, and say,
"Oh course, why didn't I think of that before?"
One of my ah-ha moments came after the 2000th photo at the carnival.
"Why do I dress so comfortably, ordinary, simple, basic, boring… Gee!!! Life is meant to be colorful, expressive, joyous, CELEBRATED!
The costumes at the carnival in Venice made me explode with wonder….
"Why not live in FULL COLOR?!"
My age doesn't matter, nor my size, nor my fear.. life is meant to be enjoyed and shared.
…
I need to wear….
Bows on my shoes, lace on my socks, dripping jewels, ribbons, hats, a vial of perfume in between my bosom… Why not live a little instead of wearing jeans and a tee shirt?
Moreso I need to live life with a heart wide open!
Why not?
If the shoe fits…wear it!
Men dressed up as women,
Women dressed up as men,
People expressing femininity / masculinity as joyous qualities to behold, to have! People expressing joy! Beauty! Wonder! Fun! Creativity!
Live………a…………….lot……………. and live it well.
Why drink water when you can drink champagne?
The practical me responds… Water is perfect. Simple and good."
Though the ah ha me jumped up and down laughing, "Add lemon and a sprig of mint (!) Hell, dump it out and drink sunlight with marshmellow clouds! And shower everyone you know with hugs, kisses and a whole lot of love."
