HEEEEELLOOOO..?

I had a wake-up call today.
I was walking down the main strip in Gatlinburg, by myself, going in and out of shops, looking at random things-- everything there was to see, I saw.

I was in The Village, which consists of 27 little shops, just wandering.
I went inside of a little Christmas shop, and looked at all of the cutesy ornaments, the pretty ones, the ...anyway.

====================

WAKE-UP CALL:
Stop being so drone! Wake up and smell the coffee, Tabytha! Take a walk and smell the roses, darn it!

====================

I was looking at things that I forgot that I appreciate. I forgot how much I enjoy looking at cards, and looking at glittery, pretty things. I forgot how much I like having fun, how much I like not remembering to look into a mirror or the reflection in a window to make sure my hair looks okay or check to see that I'm still acceptable-looking. I forgot how much I like to just have a good time, and just be.
