Well, Dbers Whatis has had a really good couple of days! Go figure because lately I've been feeling both emotionally and physically like crap. Yesterday I was driving to work and feeling overwhelmed, going over all the things that are hanging over my head lately and I just felt really anxious. When I pulled into work I stayed in the car and prayed, I asked to be given guidance on how to turn this day into something special, to be able to put aside my worries and move ahead somehow. I went into work and had a wonderful day! Something changed inside and I felt like myself again. I also phoned my Yoga teacher and asked if she had a class that evening, she did and I went. I had a great time. Today I had another couple of nice events to report. I took my daughter to the dentist as both of us needed our teeth cleaned. I had the most amazing, fun time with the dental hygienist, it took us almost an hour for her to clean my teeth. We started talking and talking and talking before and after the cleaning. We talked about all sorts of things, personal and otherwise, and laughed loudly, it was more like a party than a teeth cleaning! She even made a humorous remark about my STBX, who I did not mention once. She said "your ex-spouse isn't really Chinese, you know, because she goes away on wine tasting tours instead of working weekends" (Hygienist is Chinese, so she can say that!) I laughed and said "Well, at least I don't have to pay for it anymore" When I left she walked me to the desk and we were bantering about some silly thing and she said to the receptionist "this man is my therapy, except he makes me crazier!" I said "Well, you do sound a little psychotic at the moment" she then let out this little scream and said "See what I mean, good bye!" When we left I said to D14 "I must be the only person who has fun at the Dentists" and my D said "Dad, you make everything fun, that's just who you are" Wow! What a wonderful thing to say about old Dad. My girls just blow me away sometimes! I also felt for the first time in a long while what it's like to have a beautiful woman sitting with me and wanting to talk with me, the hygienist seemed so excited to see me and really wanted to communicate together. It was so nice. I've known her for years but until I was separated we had a very normal, courteous professional relationship but when I separated I became more outgoing towards single women and she has responded in a similar outgoing fashion. I'd never ask her out, but when I left I thought "I think I could really enjoy spending time with her". It felt good to feel a connection, a little different then my usual feeling of being undesirable lately. Anyway, those are my adventures for today! Nice to have something good to report
