Moods

Saturday, July 15, 2023

Today’s a day off, and starting tomorrow, my working hours at HD will be in the late afternoons and early evenings. At home, with my days full of animal and property care, I’ll be busy before clocking in for late shifts and will come home exhausted. Soon, however, HD’s ever-changing schedules will have me working earlier.

Yesterday, I mused about how to pep up my appearance, and a reader sent advice (Thank you, Dear Reader!), suggesting against messing with hair coloring and instead upping my clothing choices. Clothing does suggest attitudes and feelings about oneself.

That advice smoothed my path. I carefully re-examined my new articles of clothing from Stitch Fix, took a deep breath, and chose a pretty top that I had intended to wear only with a skirt (if ever again I wear a skirt). Combining that nice top with my work-a-day jeans became a noticeable touch and reflected my good mood.

A sensible way of moving to indicate some sort of personal change is by consistently touching up here and there. Gradual changes that may please are at best unsurprising.

Dear Friends: Have a wonderful day. Diana
