The Bow Belle

According to one of my favorite holiday websites, today is Someday.  But I'm a day off and wore my avocado bow! That's what I get for not checking!  Oh well, won't kill me to wear the same bow two days runnin'. Love, RagingMoon1987

I picked a completely random bow today, one that contrasts sharply with the fogggy weather, my light blue shirt, and my frosty blue nails. Yep, hair bows that are the color of the sunrise will have to take a backseat for awhile, as fall is not too far off.  I like plaid and velvet for fall and winter. Cheers, RagingMoon1987

It's that day again.  The day that every American old enuff to remember 9/11 stops and remembers where they were when they got news of the terror attack. I also think a lot about our local police, fire, and first responders today, since they were on high alert after the mess in NYC.  Everyone was.  Our schools were on lockdown all day, to the point that when I walked to the elementary school from the high school someone had to let me in.  But yeah, even in little podunk Malden, Missouri the police were out full-force, looking for dodgy characters.  I think they did find one drunk smart-a$$ making vague threats of violence, but that was it.  But little podunk Malden, thank God, has lovely police, lovely firemen, and lovely first responders.  I'm grateful that we at least have that. I can't believe it's been twenty-five years since all that!  At times it feels like it was just yesterday, and other times it feels like it was a million years ago. Swee...

Today is World Suicide Prevention Day.  I don't have a purple and teal bow, but I do have my big silver bow for mental health. I've seen silver utilized for both schizophrenia awareness and bipolar disorder awareness, as well as generalized brain disorders.  So yeah, brain health and mental health awareness can stave off suicide in some cases.  Some cases, mind y'all.  Other times folks are lonely, or unemployed, or having trouble with substance abuse, or y'all get the drift.  If any of y'all have any sort of ideation, go to this link .  If you live in Missouri like I do, this link is also good .  Please know that you're not alone; indeed, a lot of us have felt worthless and helpless at some point in your life.  You matter to SOMEONE!!!  I guarantee it, you matter to someone.

When my grandmother was alive September 2nd was the beginning of Birthday Season, but with her being in heaven the first of the season is now my sister's.  Her birthday is today, so I picked a purple bow. Sister's favorite color is purple, has been ever since she was old enuff to name the colors.  She wasn't into the lavender that most little girls like, but deep grape juice purple.  As she grew into a teenager, purple was just about the only bright color she'd wear without a fight, and even then she liked the darker shades.  I can even remember looking into her box of nail polish and noting that most of her favorite bottles were deep purple.  Even though green is my favorite color I've developed a fondness for purple, thanks to my dear ol' sis! Happy birthday, Sis!  I love you so much, and I wish you were here right now.  We'd eat Mexican, probably! Love, RagingMoon1987

Today is National Cheese Pizza Day!  My bow has pepperoni pizza on it, but to quote my sister, pizza's pizza. Bbbb
