The temperature dipped suddenly today. Once again we were subjected to a 25-30 degree plunge in just a short time. I headed out today to take a 30 minute walk and realized half way through the walk that I was way under dressed. I froze...I was uncomfortable throughout the entire excursion. The next 30 minutes will take place with me wearing a much heavier jacket.
Here is the good news. I considered these different jackets I wear. All of them...a black tailored raincoat, a blue corduroy barn jacket, a leather jacket, a fitted black dress coat with a mink collar, an Abercrombie and Fitch stadium jacket, a shearling coat and a brown wool peacoat are all clothing items I have not been able to wear in the past. Now they are all "over large" for me in varying degrees. Zippers now zip and flop at angles. Buttons which used to strain, now hang in relaxation. Coats designed to show off one's waist now do just that. Hips and belly are covered appropriately. I can sit down without fear that a button shall leap off the cloth. Success! I shall have to replace these lovely clothing friends in time. For now, I shall wear them and rejoice for as long as I can. When I start to look shabby, sloppy and too much of a caricature...I shall hand them all over to the Salvation Army...God bless them. Thank you coats for fitting. Thank you body for healing. Thank you mind for adjusting. Thank you winds of change for blowing through.
