I am wiped out, tired, tuckered out, beat, you name it. It must be all the rain, or being woken up by Bennett this morning at what I was sure was 4 am and it turned out to be 7 - so no hitting the snooze button. As if Bennett had one.
I had a great acupuncture session today. I think Nancy set me straight. I was really effected by meeting that woman in the waiting room last week and it sort of knocked me out of living in the present - which is no good for me. When I get into the space where I am what iffing myself to the point of not being able to sleep and I can't really pay attention to what is going on around me (I got two parking tickets, which I never get). So I feel better able to be in the now, to separate myself from that woman in the waiting room. She is not me, I am not her - I am just a middle aged woman eating candy (I love candy), posting on my blog, waiting for my wife to come be with me for the evening. And that, my friends, is a great place to be.
Oh, Ruth, I hope Bennett is not still upset about the choral performance. Too bad we could not convince Miss A to go up there with her. But even some of the greats had horrible stage fright-- think Carly Simon-- hopefully she will back on stage, strutting her stuff at the next show!
ReplyDeletePoor Bennett! Do you think she'd give her doting aunts a private performance?

ReplyDeleteBennett, in the bottom photograph, is nevertheless radiant! Stage fright happens to the best of us. I'm sure she'll grow beyond it.
