The Location

I love to wear hats although I rarely get to. I enjoy hats with unusual shape. There is nothing more fun than going into a hat shop and trying on all the hats. Every color and shape under the sun. I use to tease my children that I was going to wear the biggest hat I could find to their weddings. My oldest son was so relieved when he escorted me down the aisle at his wedding minus a very large hat. My favorite type of hats are the those that hide part of your face. It makes me feel mysterious, something that I don't usually feel. Most everyone knows exactly what I am thinking at any given moment. No mystery here!!!!!! Several years ago I had a beautiful white straw hat that I called my "wedding hat". I wore it to an outdoor wedding. The brim of the hat covered the top half of my face shielding me nicely from the sun but allowing me to see all through the weave of the straw. I felt great in it, yes even beautiful. This hat allowed me to observe my surroundings almost in privacy at least it felt that way. As I thought about my blog spot I thought about wearing that hat and sharing thoughts about life while observing it from under my hat. Under my hat........the location of my thoughts.

You may feel that you are "hiding your thoughts under your hat" - and yet you are inviting us under it with you, Anita. Thank you for that. You have a gift for expressing God's love and in understanding His word. I'll be under your hat as long as you let me be - with God's love shining down on us!!!! Love Jayn
