Unicorns

Most of you know me well enough to know that my wardrobe is important to me.  My outfits have to feel just right to match my mood.  Some clothes bring me comfort.  I always say, if you see me in my favorite outfit (threadbare thermal, jeans, and UGGS), I'm either having a really, really good day or a really, really bad one.

My friends at work have noticed that my outfits change with my mood.  They say that if they see me in heels (wedges, really - I gave up heels quite a while ago) they know I'm having a good day.  

Throughout the pandemic, it was mostly jeans and hoodies.  Hiding in the folds of much-needed comfort felt good.  I needed to feel good so badly.

The most interesting part to me is how important my choice of pajamas each night has become.  I have to pick just the right outfit.  To sleep in.  Yep, that's nuts, but it is so.  

I have about four drawers for pajamas.  I have summer pajamas, fall pajamas, and winter pajamas,  I have soft and cozy, and I have carefree and light.  I have different color palettes to choose from.  I'm always able to pick out the pajamas that feel just right.

Tonight, I found myself searching for my unicorn pajamas.

Unicorns!  Can you believe it?  After seeking only comfort for so long, I find myself wanting to express unicorn joy again!  

It's been a really, really good week.  It's been a good couple of months.  Two months since I felt the clouds part.

I feel it around me too.  I feel others finding hope in the progress we're making.  We're getting back to good.

I knew we could.

Thank you to my friend who helped me understand that it's important to accept that unicorns aren't always called for,  And fake unicorns are just plain annoying.

But folks, when your heart is happy and the Universe invites you to wear unicorns, wear them with all your heart!

Joy matters.  I am grateful to have healed so that I can feel true joy.  I hope there is something in your life that causes you to feel joyful and grateful to be a part of this great dance.  And if not, find something.  Please, I beg you to find something.  Because this world needs more love.  This world needs more joy.  And if you can heal your own heart and bring it back to joy, you will be healing the world too.

Hoodies?  Oh yeah.  Birks?  You bet.  Peace and Love all around.

But for tonight?  Unicorns!!!

With Love,

Jennifer
