NEW DAY…A REVISIT TO A FAVORITE HIDEAWAY

After breakfast I finished tidying up my luggage contents then checked my funds only to discover I need to change more money. I made a mental note to stop at a cambio when I go into town.

I decided to change clothes. Took off the ugly, yellow baggy shorts and the t-shirt that said “Yo, wassup!” on it then put on a petty white & floral cotton sundress. I love this dress decorated nicely with big, colorful hibiscus flowers against a white background. But I felt the look was incomplete without the blue flower barrette I forgot to bring. It would have looked nice behind my ear surrounded by the cluster of curls. I searched to see if maybe I packed something similar like a hairclip or a bright color band.

Nothing.

The dress is pretty so it doesn’t matter I don’t have other accessories to go along with it. It’s pretty enough as is. Then why do I feel a little disappointed???

I look at myself in the mirror and sway my hips from side to side. Good, it doesn’t cling. That’s all that matters right now. I look fine. No I should change.

The phone rings.

It’s my driver calling to say he’s waiting outside. Wow, it’s almost noon already??? Checked the clock and it’s actually 12:10. No time to change and why was I fretting about my outfit all that time anyway??? No one knows it’s incomplete but me.
