I -AM-

It's Sunday, but it doesn't feel like a Sunday.  That's because I worked.  And boy did I work.  There was lots to be done; I ended up working freight to the floor for two hours.  I worked some Home Furnishings items, and it was old school for me.   Back in 2008 when I arrived in The Valley of the Sun, I was in charge of Home Furnishings.  It was fun ..... but it was also hard work.  The store was busy, and I was 'interrupted' over and over again to help customers locate things.  Good old fashioned customer service... :)

While doing my own work, I was listening to Neil Diamond, especially "I Am I Said" .... *sings*  to no one there, and no one heard at all, not even the chair.  And I thought long and hard about it; it lifted me up immensely, and I realized that it wasn't about someone hearing.  Whether they hear or not, the bottom line is "I am".   How we feel about ourselves, and how we view ourselves are what's most important.  How often we try and be something someone else wants us to be - and we need to be ourselves!  

So to celebrate my little moment of revelation, 

when I was outside today, 

I stood on my bricks, 

and jumped off, 

throwing my arms into the air 

with a loud YAAAA HOOOO!  

lol yeah.  silly old lady!
