Playing Dress Up.
By Silver Blue
No, not the way you think.
I have a coworker that gives me a delightful bottle of wine every year for the holidays. Since she learned that I am unable to drink most reds (they cause massive migraines), she’s resorted to the whites and the blushes. She also makes sure they come in very cute wine covers. The female kimono on the left was one year, the male on the right (with hat and pony tail) was the next. (Have no fear, the wine is swapped out regularly!) The silk artwork between was a gift from a group of Chinese students, and the teacup in the middle? Well, of course, that’s for when I have to have a spot of tea (which is, invariably, almost every evening).
Just shows that things look different when they play dress up or are covered.
Silver Blue, who is so glad today is Friday that I could laugh manically. In fact, I have.

Things that make me happy…

1….when I’m feeling less like my usual Silver Blue self.
There’s my wine bottle covers from a coworker, and silk artwork from China:
(I name all my computers. The plate the the middle was from “Blue Thunder”, two laptops ago.)
Then, there’s my stained glass Valknuts. Valkwhats you say?
Custom made by an artist in Florida. (The Valknut (or Warrior’s Knot, or Knot of the Fallen) is a Sacred Symbol to Odin, King of the Nordic Gods. This “Magical Knot” was self-carved into the breasts of wounded Viking Warriors so their Souls would be carried, by the Valkyries, to Valhalla, the Heavenly Meeting Hall where the heroes would feast with their Gods forever. However, one would be mistaken to associate this symbol solely with the bloody Vikings. Norse legends harken back to a a long forgotten age where… “Life was considered the ‘battlefield’ of the Soul, and to triumphant one had to overcome the forces of darkness in one’s own life, allowing the spirit to shine…the triple triangles of Mind, Body, and Spirit leads the Higher Self to Victory over Darkness, bringing Resurrection and Rebirth.*)
Finally:
French Sauternes (a quite expensive dessert wine — the half bottle shown here can cost upwards of $100), and my Cobalt Waterford crystal wine hock.
Silver Blue, who is going back to bed, and going to shake this lethargy and malaise if it’s the last thing I do on this Earth!
