I'm not thrilled about Flash's new faux-hawk. I'm accustomed to seeing his scraggly mane the way nature intended it, so it strikes me as ODD to see him strutting around like he's a fashion horse. Believe me, he did NOT need any encouragement to be any more self-aggrandizing. After his initial embarrassment, he's been thinking he's "all that" out in the pasture. Yeah, "all that"....all by hisself out there.
Pitiful.
But seeing Flash walking about with style made me think about my own plain-jane life. I've been pinching pennies and being practical for longer than I care to remember. I've gotten into a rut of "doing without" and "making do," which is generally a good thing, but gets a little depressing after awhile.
Today's Small Thing is to add some PIZZAZZ to your life! I've forgotten that there are many things I can do, without spending a dime, that would add class and style to my day. My friend, Ann Kroeker, made a list awhile back and it included some really good ones.
I could:
Eat on the good china
Drink out of goblets
Use the fancy napkins
Garnish my food
Wear a scarf
Wear sparkly jewelry
Wear heels
Speak in a British accent
Put eyeliner on
Read a book of literature
Go to a free museum
Use good manners
Sit up straighter, like Audrey Hepburn
Oh, my! I just realized that I could go on and on! I'm going to skip the paper plates today, and eat on real dishes, possibly the good china.
What will YOU do??
POINTS: 40 for adding some sizzle today!
