I wear a necklace shaped like a heart, and it holds my husband's wedding ring on it. It makes me feel connected to him somehow. I get joy from wearing it. So far, I've only worn it on Sundays to church, but there is really no reason why I can't wear it everyday since it makes me feel better.

That necklace sounds so beautiful and I think it is special for you to wear in on Sundays. But yeah, wear it as much as you want. Thanks for sharing with us!!!!  |

Today, I had to go to an appointment and I wore this shimmering yellow sweater. I wanted to remind myself of it's message and encourage the staff. What joy it bought to my mask covered face when the lady thanked me and smiled at my message to her. We all need as much encouragement as we can get during these times we are living in. Plus, it was fun to wear such a happy sweater.   Dress Up With Me Monday by Kelly Roberts, on Flickr |

Use it! |

I'm wearing it, and it's Monday! I don't know how to put a photo in! Thanks for the encouragement.
Talking about DISHES, and not using them--I had a set of "good" dishes. We'd use them for Christmas and Thanksgiving and Easter-and maybe anniversaries. After my husband died, I gave the set of dishes to my son's family. Well, now I live here--and we use the dishes every Sunday night for "family dinner!" So they have been used more in the last 9 months than they've been used in all the years they sat in my cupboard. In my defense, they were really hard to get out of the top cupboard at my house. I had to use a kitchen ladder, and have someone help me get them down, or I was climbing up the ladder and down the ladder with every few dishes. I had no place "convenient" to store them!! I'm really enjoying them now!

Still under restrictions here (sigh.), so I'm still working from home--but thanks to you guys, I'm wearing nice casual clothes instead of the beat up old stuff I wear to clean the house ... and I have a doctor's appointment later today, so I may even actually 'do' my hair and wear real shoes ... go, me  I am so looking forward to the day that covid is under control enough that everything opens back up again--my work clothes are lonely for me! |

So hapy for you that you wore that precious necklace! Also, that is a great idea to use your china. Mine gets used a few times a year but now I think I should use them more. You inspired me!

I had an appointment, too. I was gonna wear my jogging suit but then decided to dress up more with jeans and that sweater. Great to see you did, too! I can't wait to be over this pandemic, too. Boy, are we gonna be so thrilled! |

I add my pictures on Flickr. How I do it is... Upload picture on Flickr After it is upload, go to that picture Look on the bottom right side for the arrow for share Click that arrow Click the BB Code and copy Then, come to your Two Peas post and Click to paste that code in the "reply" section of your comment I usually use "reply" instead of "quick reply" but it might work for both. I hope this helps! |
