I find corporate buzzspeak so wearisome. What does it actually mean? Drives me nuts. So, enough of that.
Today I woke up feeling happy. Not that I don’t usually wake up happy, because I tend to be a morning person, but today I awoke in better spirits than usual. Which is quite nice. And to add to an already pleasant morning, BamBam (I’m thinking that I will begin referring to them as Pebbles and BamBam, assuming the peanut really is a girl!) actually woke up on his own. Which meant that we didn’t have the normal get dressed and ready and out the door struggle.
I wonder if it has anything to do with the fact that, for the first time in I can’t remember when, I didn’t have to get up in the middle of the night to attend to a child or my own bladder that can no longer be ignored. Or, perhaps it has something to do with the fact that I actually exercised yesterday. Yes, stop the presses. We joined a gym, and I’m loving the aqua aerobics. Especially because the pool is full of real people with real shapes and sizes, and not super models and beach bunnies. I feel so much more comfortable in this gym environment than I’ve ever felt in the past. I think it’s part of why I’ve hated gyms for so many years. The gyms I belonged to in years past tended to be filled with vain and superficial people for which the external appearance was paramount to anything. Not my scene. And I even looked good back then!
Now, I don’t usually do this, but I feel compelled to share a link to an amazing talk given by an amazing woman. My sister has written a book (and I hope she publishes it soon, because I just know it’s incredible, and want to buy a bazillion copies to send to all my friends –okay, several copies, because I don’t actually have a bazillion friends) and found this link, which she says describes some of the characters in her book. It’s really great, because it’s science that corroborates her art. It thrills me! I listened to it at work — multi-tasking, of course — and ended up needing tissue to dab away tears. It was that good.
Now, to take some of that insight and do something with it. Translation: I really, really, really need to tap into my right hemisphere more. The question is, how?
