Today’s Muse. Stairway to the Me I Forgot.
This morning, I chose to walk this path.
To an attic in a house I haven’t lived for ten years.
Someone is moving in and doesn’t want my stuff taking up space.
Some people.
So I strode the teetering path and found many things I had completely forgotten.
Completely forgot modeling for this 38 Special album cover.
Can show Mom why I haven't entertained for the last 10 years. Who can hostess without a lace apron?
Completely unable to find the 2011-2012 Morgan County Primary School Handbook I received last week, I do have the 1998 Peachtree Road Methodist Preschool Handbook. (Excellent condition. I don't think it's been opened.)
My hair was that color...naturally? (How did she do that?)
I still have that coat hanging in my closet.
The dude I'm hugging above was hiding his "Sexiest Legs" under those acid-washed jeans.
Another stunner. Handmade Halloween costumes. By my hands. Wonder if Jake could fit his 6'1'' frame into this to trick-or-treat?
I found a small index card box with 3x5 cards where I had written a bible verse and the date. Here's the one for today's date 1996.
I have no memory of doing that. Did I memorize them? Why the date?
Who was this girl who made Halloween costumes, saved preschool handbooks and wrote bible verses on 3×5 cards. (And where did her lovely handwriting go?)
Alright, I still have a thing for 3×5 cards.
Writing bible verses and things on 3×5 cards seem to be the one common denominator between the girl in the attic and the woman at the keyboard.
And she’s still hugging the guy wearing the acid-washed jeans.
Have you cleaned out an attic lately? What did you find? Or re-find about yourself.
