A comment posted in Facebook Land by a relative made me stop and think for a moment. It was said that she "wears too many hats". And my thought was the following:
Ah but my Dears, part of the wonderous side of life is the wearing of the hats. (*said with a British accent*) =)
A person can be so MANY things and get joy from them all. I am daughter, sister, mother, wife, aunt, niece, cousin, woman, Goddess... and that weird friend you try to explain to others.
These days my pastimes need their OWN hat closet. I'm the Event
Coordinator of my UU church group, Marketing Officer for my womens
retreat group, I am a medieval Russian woman and Lady in Waiting
to the Queen of Air and Darkness in my renaissance performing group and
MOST recent, I am Victoria - a Lady from the 1860's and member of an accapella chorale that performs Christmas carols during the
holiday season.
I am making my own costume, learning Christmas
carols and working to conquer my fear of singing in public all while learning to walk in a hoop skirt. (Oh yeah,
and working on that British accent I haven't mastered yet!)
The fun part is - each of these characters actually DOES have their own hat.
PLUS, I have a "still in progress" pirate (leather pirate hat with fabulous feather plume) and steam punk character (top hat with brassy gears and pretty bits) in the back of this closet as well.
Life is varied and full and I am learning something new each day. A
year ago I would NEVER have pictured myself here, in this place with the
revolving hats. But I also find that I am surrounded by wonderful family and good friends who are talented,
creative and fun. These people care about me, encourage me and ask me how I am feeling when I am under the weather. I feel quite blessed.
I wish for all of you to find hats you LOVE to wear, whether for work or play. May you look up one day and realize that you are surrounded by wonderful people wearing AMAZING hats who think you are awesome too!
Namaste`
Vikki
