The Bow Belle

Today's bow is one of those I picked up out of the toy area in Wal-Mart.  It's got L.O.L. Surprise emojis on it. I kinda wonder if L.O.L. Surprises aren't on the downturn.  I don't see as many advertisements, and the handful of little girls I see don't talk about them.  But I see so few children nowadays, so their word doesn't count for much. Oh yeah, purple bow!  I have a few more than I thought I did . Cheers, RagingMoon1987

Yep, I'd forgotten!  Today is National Guacamole Day.   This is one of my heavier bows.  I'm sorry to say that it pulls my hair some, but not as bad as this bow and this bow ! It's still blistering hot outside.  KAIT says that this is the hottest September on our record so far, and I wish the heat dome would TAKE.  A.  HIKE!!!!!!! All of my love, RagingMoon1987 

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.
