What you can't see in this picture: Underneath her cap Gabi is wearing a headband with a blue flower pattern. Under her sweater she is wearing a scarf with a red flower pattern. Her cap says "Powerfrau" (Power woman).
Who?
Gabi
Where?
Andernach, Germany
What?
"I love all our colors! Each time I see you I fall in love with what you wear. Your clothes, your appearance, your whole mode of being reminds me of the young Maude."
How did they react?
She smiled, nodded and said, "Thanks! Yeah, I definitely don't plan on growing up..."
How did I feel?
I have seen her before. Many times: Gabi works out at the gym I taught Yoga at for two years. Every Wednesday morning she would come in with her hair all red and her gear standing out. She mixed different patterns, colors and shapes, always. Her clothing lightened my day, no matter the weather, the moment or my mood. But it was not just what she wore. It was more.
My favorite movie of all times is Harold and Maude. Watching it for the gazillionth time it still makes me happy on the spot. Don't know it? Watch it. You won't be disappointed. I promise. Here is the trailer:

Every time I see Gabi I think of Maude. The two of them share one expression: Wisdom mixed with waggishness. Their eyes add a wink to everything they do. Gabi's greeting comes with the singsong of her light and friendly voice. When I told her she reminded me of the young Maude her face turned from slightly smiling to full on sunshine and she said, "Harold and Maude! Aawh, that is my favorite movie of all times! Whenever I watch it it makes me happy on the spot!" I laughed and said, "Join the club." She swayed her head from side to side for a moment, then said, "Yeah, I could see the similarities. I definitely don't plan on growing up either. Ever." I nodded and answered, "Right on."
