Beautiful Mess
For some reason, last night I had the urge to go through all my makeup. Now, girls, you know what I mean. We all have a drawer, bag or case somewhere that holds all our lipsticks, eye shadows, blushes, pencils, etc.. This thing has makeup we may wear once in a while, but mostly things we only think about putting on twice. It is never in the same spot as our daily makeup products. So, yeah, I dumped out the lil plastic drawer and played for a bit, Sully, my basset hound, watching intently without sticking his nose into the pile. I threw out the barely-there pots of eye shadow. I slid every lipstick I owned gently across my arm to reveal its shade and intensity. But the worst/best thing happened and Im surprised I wasnt pissed.
I dropped an eye shadow orb. Argh!
But after my oh shit! I got down to the floor and just looked at the beautiful, deep purple dust swirled with the light sparkle. I loved the way it looked on the floor. A beautiful mess. It fell. It was dropped. Attempting to pick it up only made more of a mess. The weirdess part was that Sully just sat there and looked at it. Its like he was mesmerized. So was I. We both just sat there and watched it, as if it was going to do something magical.
A loud crack of thunder brought us both back to reality. I quickly used a washcloth to swipe up the powder, Sully barking at me to hurry up. We both crawled into bed and cuddling, letting the storm pass us by.
I like appreciating the little things again. Its easy to do when you have time to pay attention.
