Come Visit Me

I'm over at Magical Musings today. Talking about hats.

Come on, you're curious, aren't you? Come visit.

What happened to all your sidebar stuff?

Erica Orloff 8:23 AM, November 06, 2008  

Still there. Sometimes blogger glitches for a minute or two.

Let me know if it stays not working for you.

Hmm. It's been missing on my screen since yesterday.

Erica,

I LOVE your hat. I want you to wear this hat with joy and pride everyday, every moment.

You inspire something within me everyday. I want to write a blog about this inspiration someday. May take a day, may take forever, but everyday that I blog, even if it's not in regard to "hats", my "hat's off" to you in all that I write.

Sometimes I feel that I am that angel whispering to others to wear the hat, and I see that you are that angel as well.

That was a very beautifully put entry there in Magical Musings. Well said. VERY well said....

I had read a comment in your Magical Musings post where you had said that knowing there is no cure for what you have is liberating within itself. How very profound of a statement you made.

You are the things that dreams are made of.

Erica, thanks for blogging at Magical! I need reminders that I'm so lucky I can wear this impractical, creative hat instead of a practical, constricting life.

Thanks. I am humbled at your nice words.

I always tell my children that had I chosen the life I have, I never would have chosen all the pain in it. But having been given all that pain, I now see it has made me who I am. Viktor Frankl's Man's Search for Meaning helped me make sense of nearly dying. The book changed my life.

Hey Edie;
Thanks for having me.

Do you have a real hat you can share with us? I envy people who buy extravagant hats and actually wear them. I have nothing but visors, ball caps, and one errant straw cowboy thing. :)

Great post!

My favorite hat--one with a veil and everything--was squashed when I moved. :-(

Oh, that sucks. :(

I tried to find the picture of myself dressed up in costume at Colonial Williamsburg complete with matching hat. Another impractical use of my time...

Oh wait, I just remembered another photo! I'll be back...

Sigh, my house is such a mess I can't find the picture of me dressed up in this hat the size of a flying saucer complete with outrageous flowers.

That is a cool hat! Words to remember when times get tough, and people tell you what you're doing is "silly and impractical". (No one's actually told me that, but I suspect Adam whispers it in my ear while I'm sleeping.)

Richmond--If you ever find it, post it! :-)

No one has to whisper it to me. I think it enough myself sometimes!! :-)
