Typically I would paint my nails a Christmas color at this time of the year. But, I wanted something brighter.
The last nail polish I put on was a respectful shade for my Grandma’s funeral. My ring finger on my right hand has had two different colors of wall paint on it for over a week. I’ve broken and chipped several nails working on our last house renovation.
I meant to do something with my nails last night. Today I was part of a live raffle drawing and was sworn in to my new township role. Both of those things would have probably been more presentable with polished looking nails. But, oh well, the day went on and things were accomplished.
Tonight I am thankful for time tonight to put a bright color on my nails to brighten my day. I’ve accepted that I’m just going to be a little more shadowed for awhile with life situations. I’ll pack in little things like this to brighten where I can!
