I am glad that LeeAnna asks these questions. It is fun to think about the answers! did you get school clothes and shoes for the start of school? Did you look through the enormous Sears catalogue at all the possibilities and dream? Remember going to the store with probably a mom, and trying on clothes? A shoe store for your "school shoes" Back-to-school shopping was not done in our home. Mom bought clothes when she found a good bargain. Mom sometimes would sew or knit for us. We also got hand-me-downs. We were always clean and appropriately dressed for the season. I hated the ugly footwear she would buy for me. I now have a very large collection of gorgeous shoes! Lots of sparkles! My family got together this past weekend. Cousins, aunts, and uncles all came together for a barbecue at my home. There were 30 of us all told. 14 of which were under the age of 16. It is lovely to get caught...
Is that good advice for a pedestrian? Walk steadily, but look up into the sky? I think it would be wiser to look straight ahead while walking, glancing down from time to time to see you are not stepping into something nasty (banana skin, puddle, dog's poo, broken tiles....)
ReplyDeleteMetaphorically it is of course good advice to admire the stars and dream, while at the same time being practical and keeping steady.
I agree, it is not very inspiring, but your illustration is colourful and fun.
