You are held by holy angels

My father, who is an eternal music machine, was humming "The Water is Wide" while measuring for my door frame. This means they have the Three Altos playing in his car. There was a point in the fall when I had purchased three copies of their cd and still didn't have it for myself. Now that I am blessed with my own copy (thank you Lisa and Barb), I am drawn to "Holy Angels". Being fiercely independent, I forget how to let go.

While this is fabulous music, my favorite thing about this cd is the cover. It features three pairs of legs. The first is wearing black hose and slinky black heels in your traditional "ain't I sexy" pose. The second is wearing pink khakis and laced yellow high-top tennis shoes in a crossed and relaxed pose. The third pair is wearing well-worn jeans and Birkes in a laid-back and simply standing-minding-my-own-business pose. While this sounds very boring thus far, I have to say I have thought about this cover a lot.

I am three altos in one.

My work has me in slinky heels. When I'm not working, I live in jeans and sandals (I'm a Chaco/Tevo girl). And the second pair? Well, I like to think of myself as an artist who wears funky things, but it is more mental than physical. I let my jewelry scream wildly on behalf of the rest of my wardrobe.

Why am I telling you all of this? Well, it's been a long month. Thank goodness April doesn't have the audacity to have more than 30 days. But tonight, tonight I'm feeling good. Grateful in fact. I am very blessed and most definitely held by holy angels.
