More Out of Monday with Madeline♥
I’m Madeline – a healthfully humorous, radically ridiculous, momentarily messy broad here to give you a flicker of joy on the (in most cases) most indignant day of the week.
Monday is like…
…Making a grand entrance, perfect outfit, bright smile, the best you’ve ever looked and, a half hour later, your friend tells you there’s spinach in your teeth.
Howdy from my world! As I was reading Kellie’s post about perfectionism yesterday, a thought came to mind. You know that saying “it’s not about being perfect but making the most out of what you have”? Well, I definitely know I’m not perfect, nor do I try to be…God knows the truth of that.
Moving on…here’s how I “make the most out of what I have”.
I look in the mirror sometimes and see this quirky woman, that I love, BTW. However, I often want to be these other people, exotic, famous, not so famous, poor, rich, smart, in control…anyone who isn’t me. No, I don’t have Multiple Personality Disorder…at least I don’t think I do. Just a vivid imagination that sees characters…many characters. Creating costumes for my kids (and myself) has always been one of my favorite pastimes.
Why do you think that it’s so easy to be free and bold when we’re pretending to be someone else?
I, for one, find it a trip to stand in the mirror and make faces, talk in funny voices, put on hats, intentionally make myself ugly…true freedom. The best part is no one else knows my secret, my “multiple personality order”. Well, except for all of you now…
Is this healthy? It makes me laugh…that can’t bad, right?
So, I got to thinking about the blog that I want to start. Don’t worry; I’ll still be here on Mondays. I believe there might be a whole lot of you ladies out there who would love to pretend to be in someone else’s shoes, too. What if you could? Even if it was just for a minute. You think about that one. I’ll keep working on my blog idea and, in the meantime, keep you company here on Mondays.
Love,
Madeline♥
