40 years vs first day...........what???

Today I got a message via facebook regarding my ARGH!!!!!!! 40th high school reunion. How did that happen. I find it rather interesting that this surfaced today because today was the first day of "school" for me, so to speak. Started that course called "Transitions" and it felt great to be there.

The energy of the instructor was "perfect" for me. She might be a tad too much for a few people but generally she kept us upbeat and laughing, ready to get on with the work at hand. And what exactly is the work we will be doing???

We are going to be discovering who we really are and what it is that makes us tick. Those things that are unique to us and those gifts that we can share with others. And in my case, it is seeing how best to take ME out into the real world without losing my best parts. I'm excited.

At the end of the first day, I had a chance to sit with the instructor and get to know her, as she did me, by simply chatting. She started off by saying how "cool" I was. And I said, Hey, I want your job. She told me to hold on to that thought because she said I am perfect for HER job. So who knows. Anyway, we had a wonderful chat and I am chomping at the bit to get back there tomorrow.

And then the 40th High School reunion...........THAT should be something. I never stayed in contact with anyone from those days. Saw them all at my 15th reunion and that was interesting. But 40 years........my God. Funnily enough the woman who contact me via facebook asked if my name was "my old name" because, as she said, I look just like HER. So not bad eh?

She found me on facebook and knew it was me from my recent picture which calls me by the name I have been using for almost 20 years and not my given name. And we now know this picture is 40 years later BUT, she said I look just the same. And now that I think about it, I do feel pretty good about how I look on the outside. Now to get in alignment with and appreciate who I AM on the inside. I know that this course will be of great assistance to me and I feel more positive than I have in a long LONG time.

I hope to be checking in here with a daily update and hopefully, not only will I be able to document the process I am going through, BUT it will be 21 days. And 21 days is supposedly the number of days it takes to put something into practice.........like writing daily. Like I said, this is exciting.

So blessings to one and all and be good to yourself. You deserve it.
