PERSPECTIVEPerspective is such a clinical term

for something

so..

personal.

Perspective can be an ART term

or

a comment on your personal view of a subject.

Yesterday,

at church, the woman in front of me

wore the biggest, pinkest, frilliest hat

that I have ever seen in my life.

She paired it with a pink blazer and black slacks.

The wardrobe is quite unimportant,

I mention it only because,

I listed to the entire EASTER sermon,

while looking through the

brim, tulle, silk flowers and ribbon

of that huge pink hat.

I hate to admit this, but during the sermon,

I could not concentrate.

It reminded me

of when I was a little girl,

and Mother would make our Easter hats.

I am one of three daughters.

Mother was creative, beautiful, kind and she loved us.

It was Easter Sunday, and I sat behind the pink hat lady remembering,

Having a new hat, a beautiful new dress

(Often made by Mother, as she sewed and had taken millinery classes)

white gloves, anklet socks, where the heels would ride down into my black patent leather shoes.

Often, I would sneak Easter candy into

a small purse and nibble during church.

Perspective!

Other people might remember things a bit differently.

Moments in your life are exactly that.

Your life.

(secret:always remember the fun things!)

The pink hat lady was a wonderful gift to me,

She let me look back

and smile.

Love you.

Me
