It's no secret that sometimes the past holds difficult memories of woulda-shoulda-coulda. I wrote today's heading, and uploaded the image, and then realised the date. In Australia Sept-11 holds significance, but perhaps it can't be the same here as it is for our foreign friends (my thoughts are with you).The future on the other hand holds it's own anxieties; will I, should I, can I? Perhaps it's human nature that so many of us get trapped in the noise of our own heads spinning this way that. Perhaps that's why so many self-help people advocate just living in the moment for a moment; enjoying life for what it is, right here, right now.
While trying to do just that, flipping through a glossy mag given to me by a neighbour, I saw a big heading "Trend-alert! Futurism is Here!" Fair enough. I looked through all the silver shoes, strange oblong patterned shirts, and diagonal skirts.... much of it seemed oddly reminiscent of things people have worn in the past... but then I'm no style-guru so what would I know about future-trends!
If shiny silver is the sign of the future, I decided; I'll give it a go. I took the necklace I was wearing off, placed it on the kitchen counter, and then and there, used some aluminum foil to wrap three of the black beads - and voila! - I'm reading to zip into cyberspace with my funky new age necklace!
Laugh all you like, but in less than a minute and for mere pennies, I'm on-trend ladies!
So then - are you prepared to see the lighter side in life and be brave enough to wrap any party of yourself in foil and send me a photo?
Haha - Linda.
