never pass up the opportunity to *be silly* and “non-sensible”!

every now and again, you come across really beautiful, meaningful posts on the internet… and this was one of them: The Traveling Red Dress

I want, just once, to wear a bright red, strapless ball gown with no apologies.  I want to be shocking, and vivid and wear a dress as intensely amazing as the person I so want to be.  And the more I thought about it the more I realized how often we deny ourselves that red dress and all the other capricious, ridiculous, overindulgent and silly things that we desperately want but never let ourselves have because they are simply “not sensible”.  Things like flying lessons, and ballet shoes, and breaking into spontaneous song, and building a train set, and crawling onto the roof just to see the stars better.  Things like cartwheels and learning how to box and painting encouraging words on your body to remind yourself that you’re worth it.

don’t let the “i’ll do/get that later"s stack up too high. 

as TheBloggess said, “Everyone needs a red dress”.

as for me, it’s going to be a busy week.  back to the dentist for what will hopefully be my last visit for EONS (abscessed tooth seems to finally be healing!  YIPPEE!) and i’ve some projects that i need to get started on and get finished (so i can start cutting my own “i’ll do/get that later” list down a tad)!  tho i’m certainly ~all up in~ the “be silly"ness
