We all need moments when we just
need to feel special.
Virginia Woolf described Mrs
Dalloway's love of throwing a beautiful party as a "tribute to
life"............"that's what I do it for...they are an
offering"...."everyone goes home saying....aah! what a lovely party
it was...aah! what fun it was...aah! how good it is to be alive" :)
So it could be any occasion we
create, then. An evening out with your loved one....the concert or opera we
save up for...the lunch or late night drinks with girlfriends....a random event
at your favourite store...a book reading.....the "dress up" night on
your vacation one hour or twenty hours away from home...your child's special
function at school....or that day when you are feeling low.... AND that day
when you are feeling low, which is the day to dress up even if it is to the
grocers or to work or your doctor's appointment!
We don't need an occasion to dress
up for. We need to create the occasion. The fairy dust is in our hands. The
mantra is 'Dont be afraid to dress up, when you feel like dressing up!"
This section has the days I dress up
for myself and for you.
