Thursday 16th January

I accidentally wandered into a cemetery to get out of the heat (moment for smug smile) and as the music floated out of the small chapel in the centre I ducked between the tightly packed concrete structure, the walls of plaques and statues.

With the sun shining the atmosphere was far from sombre but it did put my little life in some perspective.  Every little life has the potential the make waves, the opportunities to learn and love. Although sometimes we will feel like we're going to be just another name in a crowd.  But we are actually simply part of something bigger than our self. It's the difference between being individualistic or looking around us.

My favourite clothes are my summer clothes, the ones appropriate for hot weather which of course we get on a regular basis.  Thus my favourite clothes are mostly in waiting, and I just wear what's comfortable even if it makes me feel less confident.  Can't risk being chilly, or worse - standing out.

Life is precious, and I want to be someone that embraces all it has to offer - ups and downs.  I don't want to live in waiting, hiding away ready for everything to be lined up.  So I will wear my red high heels on a weekday because they look great, even though I won't fit in. I'll put my summer clothes on in the winter, with a few additions probably, because I feel good in them.

I will live this little life now, not sometime in the future.
