what came to mind - i think i'm practicing my new found skills virtually!!!! (GRIN!!)
time to take them into the real world!!!
my s's teacher AND the assistant teacher are practically gawking at me!! they are so delighted to see me every afternoon when i go in to pick s up - they actually come over and sort of keep me there, going on about this and that. i'm thoroughly enjoying it - for the first time in my life!! the old me would have got really uneasy and rushed out of there.
i don't flirt but i am warm and friendly, just as i am to everyone else!!
old zig - warm and friendly were NOT words that came to mind, EVER!!
my point being - that when one comes to love oneself - really love oneself - the whole world comes out to love you back. then the "little" things don't matter all that much any longer.
oh sigh - wish i'd known that a long long time ago - would have saved me a lot of grief.(not to mention for the people around me)
i don't know if i am indeed a rare bird or not, starsky, but the image of one of Attenboroughs' "Birds of Paradise" came to mind.
my favorite is that black one - when he dances, that big crazy vibrant blue comes out on his chest. i'm that big vibrant blue now.
of course when i'm not dancing, i'm back in the black - but i'm dancing more and more........and more, everyday
cheers zig
