When it's cold and grey outside

 


Enjoy some color inside!!

It's been a long time since I treated myself to a bouquet of flowers. Ah, they don't follow the seasonal coloring either! That's just fine with me.



I'm not a shopper, so Black Friday sales have no interest for me. I have to remind myself to avoid all retail stores though.

I don't know if this has ever happened to you but...the other day, I noticed that I am not just the medical diagnosis that I carry around. I am separate from that medical person...which is like a blouse I put on and can take off. I'm also separate from other identities that many people may see or know as myself...the elderly woman, the person living simply on a fixed income, the person who lives alone, the matriarch of my family, the climate activist, the church volunteer, the person that sometimes gets silly.  

All of those shirts definitely belong to me...but hey, I'm still the one inside wearing them.
