There are days where I feel as though I've been born into the wrong era. Sometimes I wish I were in Victorian Europe dressed in a full gown strapped in corsets even as a servant or chambermaid. It seems like it was a magical time, things were pure, however good or bad.
I often find myself wishing I was born into the 50's/60's because I feel like I would be the perfect 50's wife.
While, if had known what I would be missing from today's lifestyle, I'd be some what opposed to the lack of respect for most women, I love the idea of having a perfect home, acting as the nurturer, the family caregiver, the chef and even the maid. It was time where neighbors say hello, please, and thank-you and people wrote letters by hand and sent thank-you notes and RSVP to fabulous cocktail parties and then actually show up, or at least phone if they were unable to attend, and there were such things as courtesy and modesty. The early 20th Century holds great appeal for the music, the original gangster lifestyle, however gruesome in truth, and the world of jazz and liquor, tommy guns and beautiful cars, and a world where a woman could eat and drink and have curves without as much fear of criticism and torment.
Write a letter to someone. Send a thank-you card for a kind gesture or a gift received, have a fantastic party for close family and friends, play board games, read a book, make something, build something, craft something, use your head and your hands instead something with a cord and a plug in the wall. Use pen and paper and a stamp, break out the stickers and cheesy stationary. Come on. you know you want to, and hopefully soon,
all the cool kids will be doing it.
