dresses

I worked 32 hours the past two days.
My feet hurt.
Son gave me a foot massager/soaker for Christmas.
I haven't used it yet. I think I will today!

Boyfriend made pancakes for breakfast.
They were delicious.

I have a few projects to choose
from to do today..........or maybe not.
Maybe it will be a stay in bed watching movies and reading type of day.
Tomorrow I'd like to get to mom and dads house to do
some cleaning. I'll wait and see how I feel tomorrow before I commit
to it.

One of the shooting victims at Sandy Hook elementary was a little girl whose
grandmother said, in talking about the little girl, "she loved dresses. she loved
any and all dresses."
It got me to thinking about all the dresses
I bought for daughter for school formals.
I packed them away thinking that one day I will have grand children who would
love to play dress up in those dresses the way I used to in my grandmothers dresses.
I unpacked the dresses and decided, with daughters permission, to donate the dresses
in honor of that little six year old Sandy Hook girl.

Yesterday I gave the dresses away.
It's one of my 26 acts of kindness.
I felt a little sad giving them away. Maybe that sounds selfish, and maybe it is selfish but I felt like I was giving a part
of my daughter away.
On the other hand I knew some other
young girl who couldn't afford to buy a dress
for a school dance would have a pretty dress to wear and maybe feel like
a princess for a night.
Maybe the little girl who loved
dresses loved them because she felt pretty in them.........I don't know.
I wanted to honor her, even if it was in a small way.
