BUY YOURSELF A POLKA DOT UMBRELLA
by Dorene Lehavi, PhD
I just bought one. It replaced the neutral beige collapsible
one that I forgot in a shopping cart on a rainy day. When I went
back for it someone else had claimed ownership. I can be ok with
that. But I would have to replace my good old reliable umbrella
I had carried for years.
When I got around to buying a
replacement there was no beige, black or even navy. There were
garish pictures, robots and butterflies and then the polka dots.
I was ready to walk away sans umbrella, but my time is valuable
in the sense that there are about 150 things I’d rather do than
hunt for the perfect replacement umbrella. So, I took a
second look at the multicolored polka umbrella and decided it
was actually more than acceptable.
Since “old reliable” collapsed to
about 8’ and polka dots was one of those weighty long ones with
a curved wooden handle I would require a whole new orientation
to carry and use it. For example, I could not stuff it into my
purse, carrying packages would be a new challenges and I’d have
to be careful not to trip myself because of the length.
You may be wondering what my purpose is in writing about such a
mundane issue as an umbrella. I don’t think it’s mundane. In
fact it turns out that this “daring” act of mine to replace my
easy to carry, go with every outfit umbrella with a somewhat
weighty, even clumsy, colorful one is in fact a great gift to
myself. I keep it in the car and whenever I look at it, the
polka dots make me smile. The weight and breadth of it give me a
lot more coverage than it’s predecessor and that makes me feel
more physically substantial than my 5’2” frame. So now I hope
for rain.
