This morning I awoke feeling incredibly tired. With only a few hours of sleep last night due to a medicine I took and just a lot on my mind. I just didn't sleep. No sleep, means exhaustion. The two cups of coffee, quick walk outside to energize, and warm shower followed by a cold splash - nothing touched my sleepiness. Just wanting to crawl back into bed and snuggle down in my warm comforter while the fan blocked out noises and the day ahead . . . that's what I wanted to do.
How do I beat down this feeling? How can I carry about my day?
My remedy . . . my blue dress. This is my go-to dress when I need to be energized. The cobalt blue color which resembles the color of the deep ocean brings me life, energy, and a new spring in my step. I paired it with my favorite "golden slippers" and golden chain necklace and I was made a new woman. You may ask how a simple dress could energize me when all else failed?
No really, it's not the dress, it's what happens after I put the dress on. My family thinks I look pretty in the dress. I normally dress in neutral colors, so it's kind of shocking to them to see me in bright colors. Alexandria woke this morning and before anything else was said "Mom, you look really pretty in that dress". Ladd says "You look hot!". Adam, "Mom, ya sure do look purty". Aggie, "Wow, you look like a blueberry jelly bean". (Yes, that's a 6-year old's happiness).
My family's love pumped me full of energy this morning. Thank you beautiful cobalt blue, pleated dress with a cinch waist. I will keep you forever in my thoughts. Don't be alarmed folks if you see me working in the garden or cleaning out fence lines with my beautiful dress draped about my body, as I often need energy on Saturday mornings.
You are loved . . .my blue dress.
