I miss the simpler times already! Now, it seems that life is noisy and confusing and the world is falling apart! This post isn't about the outfit, its about LIFE!
I think we’re forgetting what we were kind of being taught at the beginning of Covid. Just slow down, to do what needs to be done to stay safe, to savor life a little more, to spend more time with your family, to binge on a crazy show that you never thought you would’ve liked called Tiger King and talk about Joe Exotic and Carol Baskin and their kittens and kitties! LOL.
I swear this world has gone mad! I think we are all just sick and tired of it! I literally shake my head every day wondering what people are thinking? I will not even get into it all but with respect to Covid, I just feel as we head into the holidays and cooler weather, it’s just going to get worse. It’s crazy because it’s just so simple, if we would all ban together, wear our masks, stay social distant, stay in a smaller bubble, don’t attack other parties or other races, just live as one! OK, so maybe you survive this virus and you don’t think it’s that bad, how do any of us know the long-term effects? How do you know if you go to that extended family and friends gathering of 50 people, where all those other people have been? Have they been doing their diligence? Who have they been around?
Mr. Nine and I have no problems venturing out, if we can stay outside for the most part, do things that don’t require close quarters and only surround ourselves with people that we know have been doing the right thing.
And don’t even get me started on politics and everything that goes with it. it’s not about politics, it’s never been about politics, it’s about fighting for the health of each other, of all mankind. People truly make me sad these days but I will never give up hope, the hope for love and wisdom to prevail in this world!
In that hope is also that people will stop the Noise and will always fall back on the simpler things in life, you know like Tiger King, lol.
And in the meantime, I’ll continue to do my diligence as we head into the cooler season, but I’ll look cute-n-cozy doing it wearing my tiger face Wooden Ships sweater! And we will both give you 15% off your total purchase with Code: livingoncloudnine15
Just wait til you see all the winter coziest too!

I have never seen Tiger King! I agree, everyone is getting stir crazy and it does seem our world has gone mad. I'll be glad when the election is over as I think that certainly adds another unnecessary layer of nastiness!
ReplyDeleteOn the flip side - you look absolutely gorgeous in this ensemble - head to toe I love it all!

It is beyond crazy how political it has become. It really is a simple solution and it's such a small inconvenience to put on a mask to shop, but it fell on such a divided climate that couldn't manage to come together. Hopefully by spring we'll have been treatments and slower spread, in the meantime we all need to do our part. There have been several young healthy people ending up hospitalized and not completely recovered even a month later in our small town, to I am taking it more seriously than ever right now.
ReplyDeleteIt really is a crazy world right now. I feel like I am constantly on edge. Everyone attacking everyone else. Not to make light of the situation but I always think of Mean Girls and this quote "I wish we could all get along like we used to in middle school... I wish I could bake a cake filled with rainbows and smiles and everyone would eat and be happy..."
ReplyDeleteI agree that it's not about politics but caring for one another. Love this fun sweater and I adore the boots!

I have no idea why our health has become political but it needs to stop. Everyone needs to do their part to stop the spread of the virus and also show some human decency to others. Love your tiger sweater! Super cute!

Wise words, my friend. Things do feel crazy, and I would love to even just go back to how people were at the beginning of COVID, like you said. :(
ReplyDeleteI've never watched Tiger King but I agree that this world has gone insane! I've had to limit my news watching or else I'll be sad all the time. You look so cute in these photos - enjoy your week!

God lord that feels like a year ago that I watched that! Amen sister.I am so sacred for what is to come, but we just have to do our part!
ReplyDeleteI just dont understand people at all. It is crazy out there right now. I often wonder what happened to kindness, decency, respect for one another, and being able to express your thoughts and opinions without being cancelled. Obviously, we haven't ventured back out into the world yet, and honestly, I am kind of glad we haven't. It has allowed me to keep my head in the sand about a lot of things lol. The next month is going to be rough, and I am holding on to the good things like the fall weather, all the pumpkins and Christmas on the horizon!
ReplyDeleteYes, I agree that it feels like Tiger King was a long time ago and that was one crazy show. Everything is crazy right now but I'm doing my part to stay safe and staying positive that we will get through this. You look so cute in that sweater!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the blog visit and have a great day!
Ah the early days of quarantine! You are so right and I share your sentiments exactly!! We should all want to be okay and get on with life - not normal for sure, but back to friends and being able to hug loved ones! xo, Biana BlovedBoston
ReplyDeleteNow I'm going to be singing that Tiger King song all day in my head! All of this makes perfect sense and I wish more people would follow it!
ReplyDeleteOmg my husband and I say all the time that the era of Tiger King feels like it was 5 years ago but also just yesterday! I totally agree with everything you said. We definitely have been venturing out more but we're primarily staying outside and wearing a mask!! We all have to do our part!

YESSSSS i miss this time!!! it was a special time for sure lol
ReplyDeleteI so agree about not knowing what the future effects are. That scares me!
ReplyDeleteAmen sister!
ReplyDeleteWell you look amazing in your outfit and I love that you shared your heart! I feel like so many people are pulling back and it makes me uneasy. We also venture out and still create memories but only outside and areas where we feel safe. I know it's hard for all of us to make sense of this, but my hope is that people will have more respect for each other and do the right things.
ReplyDeleteIt feels like Tiger King was so long ago. We have been in this forever. I agree. We got out, but we try to hang out outdoors more. I do love the Tiger sweater!
ReplyDeleteI so agree with you! Take care of yourself and keep doing what you can to take care of those around you. Love your outfit BTW!
ReplyDeleteI agree...everything is so out of whack and it's about to get worse with the election and winter Covid season. But this post makes me smile!! Let's all just get along, people! It's really not that hard, right...love u!

Could not love this post more! YES please to alllll of the above! Not sure why it's become so ridiculous and people just can't seem to get along or get it together.

I never even watched Tiger King! LOL. You look absolutely adorable in that outfit though.
ReplyDeleteWho would have ever thought Tiger King is the simplier days. What a crazy time. I'm with you too on exactly ALL your thoughts on this. I dont get why its so hard... but yet here we are - going into a holiday where people will not see family because others would rather have their "freedoms"... giving no cares about those around them. I've never had anything that makes me so infuriated at this.
ReplyDeleteI must live in a very compliant area because EVERYONE here seems to be wearing their masks. I guess I am frustrated about the opposite situation - just found out Grace's college is keeping same plan for spring - only freshmen on campus with all virtual classes. I feel sorry for the seniors who haven't been on campus since March and will not return at all before graduation. It's definitely a crazy world we're living in. Thanks for linking up with Hello Monday! Tanya - The Other Side of the Road
ReplyDeleteYou are the cutest Tiger Queen!!! Love these sweaters. XOXO
ReplyDeleteWe absolutely loved Tiger King! It was such a great escape show! It's so frustrating to see people not obeying mask regulations! I just want to be done with this nonsense! That sweater is the cutest! I love the graphic style!
ReplyDeleteI've still never seen Tiger King. My tv watching has dramatically reduced over the years and half the time I feel like I'm missing out on what everyone is talking about.
ReplyDeleteOXOX

Andrea, I am totally with you! We just need to use our heads and most importantly, GET ALONG! Yikes! I love your Tiger King outfit and your perspective.

I love the sweater! You are just the cutest. I am totally with you about people these days. I dread the holidays in some ways because I feel like people are going to be so ugly. Makes me just want to stay inside and shop online.
ReplyDeleteOh friend, I could not agree with you more! I really wish that COVID did not become such a huge political issue. People just need to wear their masks, practice social distancing and limit their bubble. On a much happier note, I LOVE your outfit! Tiger King was a crazy show yet kind of good at the same time haha. Have a great day lovely friend! XO Caroline
ReplyDeleteI am TOTALLY with you, babe. Wearing a mask and following the distancing rules is a pain, SURE, but it SAVES LIVES. I don't understand people who politicize it. It's so wild- and dangerous!
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you and the fam are staying safe. And I'm loving this super cute sweater- definitely makes me wanna re-watch Tiger King, haha!

I'm so with you!! What is happening?!! I don't even know what to think anymore except all I know is I want everyone safe and this to go away. Prayer my friend- and wearing a mask! Btw you are the cutest advocate in that tiger top- andso right: it wasn't that long ago Tiger King!! xx
ReplyDeleteYes! Wear your mask, social distance, follow the rules, and respect others and this will all be over MUCH sooner!
ReplyDeleteYou look absolutely adorable my friend. Love the hat and the sweater!
ReplyDeletelove that sweater and you sweet friend!
ReplyDeleteI miss tiger king times too- it almost feels like that was a lifetime ago!
