I love jewelry. A simple and well-chosen piece completes an outfit.The act of chosing which piece or pieces to wear is often part of my morning routine.
I find such pleasure in the act of clasping a bracelet around my wrist or fastening earrings at my lobes.
And yet, left to the unconscious act of preparing for the day, I won't always chose to wear jewelry. It's only something that happens easily when I'm happy.
Some days I make a conscious effort to find pleasure. It always starts with the simple things. A pause at the window in the early dawn. Resting my forehead against Joe's for a quiet moment while saying goodbye. Stopping at the jewelry box to paw through the tangled mess I've made.

Today I slipped on my alltimefavoritebangle. Hidden in the cuff of my jacket, I'll catch sight of it randomly during the day.
I'll feel the weight of it with each key stroke and reach.
When the stresses of the day mount, I'll play with the clasp and find comfort each time it closes on my wrist with a happy little snap.
Somehow today feels like a good, good day.
I do the same thing...but could never put it to beautiful words like you do... Auntie Aud
