[i][b]Dance as though no one is watching you, love as though you have never been hurt before, sing as though no one can hear you, live as though heaven is on earth. ~Souza[/b][/i]
I decided not to go into work today. My youngest daughter (the Princess) is with her cousin and grandmother all day, so I have decided to stay home and spend the entire day with my oldest daughter (the Angel). The Angel has had a bittersweet summer break. She finally came to find herself; she knows what she wants and what she likes and she has learned to live with the fact that while she is not perfect, she also knows that nobody is perfect. Since this discovery, she has been very pleasant to be around :lol: However, she has also learned that her peers do not particularly care for this new sense of self. So, they have basically done what most angst ridden teen age girls do when somebody decides to become an individual, they have distanced themselves from her. While she puts on a brave face, I know that she is hurting and conflicted. While it is a wonderful thing to free yourself of the burdens of conformity, it is also very painful to realize that your friends may not be the friends you thought would stick by you no matter what. So, I have decided to take her downtown for the day. Downtown Denver is our favorite place to hang out. There is a bookstore that we absolutely love. 4 floors of pure imagination. The last time we were there, we took my Love and the Princess. They were into it for about an hour, but after 4 hours they were so disgusted with us that they said they would not go back there with us:) So, I thought we would go there for a while, maybe pick up a few books (actually there is no maybe about it, the problem will be narrowing it down to a few :lol: ) Then I thought we could stop at our favorite metaphysical store. This one is in downtown Littleton. Another favorite place of ours. It is the total opposite of downtown Denver. Where Denver is constant hustle and big city commotion, Littleton is lazy strolling, and old fashioned window shopping. Then I thought we would come home, get my Love and the Princess and head out for dinner and a movie. The fun part about the whole day is that I have all these visions of how it is going to be the perfect day, but it can change in an instant. When me and the Angel are alone together, sponteneity takes over and sends us in a completely different direction. So to paraphrase a favorite movie line; "Buckle up, it's going to be a bumpy ride"!
