I am up late tonight with too much on my mind to sleep. As humans on this planet, we all wear many hats. Tonight I had to wear the hat of a leader in a writers group. It was a strange evening. I chose to bring a real hat, my very beautiful pheasant feathered, plum witches hat with black netting to cover my face. I was at the meeting to divide the group into two and hoped the hat might bring a little levity to the situation or at least block the tomatoes and boos that may come my way. It went very well with the general population and very poorly with a few. It might have been wise if I'd also taken my witches broom to fly out of there fast.
The division is done, and the witches hat is back on my bookcase where I can enjoy it. Strange, some might think, but then doesn't everyone collect beautiful things? You know, things like; decorative witches hats, dragons, fairies, fairy wings, fairy doors, castles, swords, knights in shining armor, banners, and leprachan catchers? How about tapestries and harps? If you are a collector of shiny, shimmery things, I can garentee these are a whole lot cheaper than collecting sparkly jewelry which I do love as well.
I realize it's time to take off my "Insane Writer's Hat", and put on my "Mom is done for the day hat," and float up to bed. Nice image, floating up to bed. It really will be more like carrying a glass of water in one hand, with a cloths basket on my hip, as I trudge up the stairs to tidy the wing of the house with the bedrooms, then read my scriptures, say my prayers and climb into my feather bed.
lol..loveing the imagery, Cindy! I always enjoy reading your posts. Floating up the stairs...sounds much nicer than trudging, and huffing and puffing and wheezing my up upstairs! And those hats...yeah, i think we all wear about a million of them. i used to ask my hubby if he was wearing his husband hat or his Bishop hat or his work hat before i could talk to him so that I could understand what language he was going to speak...funny, but I guess you had to be there. thanks for the lift Cindy!
ReplyDeleteWonderful Cindy. I thoroughly enjoyed the imagery. I like the idea of wearing magical hats. I confess I always wanted to be a jedi, ha. So I should wear hmmm a cloak hat?
ReplyDeleteThanks Kari and Terri. I love hats, and hope I can keep them all straight.
