Note to Myself No. 10

One of the things that was magical

about being a kid

was playing dress-up,

donning costumes and adult clothes

and fancy costume jewelry

and high heels miles too big.

Pretending

just for a moment

that we were

grown-up

fancy 

people.

We could be a nurse

or a fashion model

or anything our imagination

could manifest

for those costumed minutes.

Too often,

as grown ups,

we stop playing with possibility.

Play dress up more often!
