I forgot to tell this one (I think) - The day in Virginia, a month ago, when I was going to have lunch with Lynne and shakestheground, I left home wearing a blue skirt and blue short sleeve shirt. The last few days it had been really warm. On the way there I was chilly, so I put on the one long sleeved shirt I had with me, which was brown. It never would have ever occurred to me to pair blue and brown in my clothes, except in this instance when it was the only choice.
Driving along, coming closer to my Brokie Buds I was about to meet for the first time, it dawned on me that I was wearing Jack AND Ennis's colors, and that rather than feeling like a wrong color combination, it felt really, really right. I started LOVING what I was wearing. I was all excited about telling them when I got to the rendezvous spot, but actually forgot.
Since that day, I have had days where I have deliberately chosen to embrace/declare my Brokieness with blue and brown or tan clothes. It always feels really good.
