Yesterday I took my 20 year old
son and we went bay fishing down on a boat in Galveston. It was a hot, humid July Texas day but the
water was beautiful. We didn’t catch
much, no one did but I did catch something.
I caught a little more confidence.
Here I was in a bathing suit and a
pair of shorts, hair blowing all over, sweating, no makeup and I walked through
the day with confidence; head high and feeling fantastic. Normally, this would have been a head down, try not to draw attention to yourself kind of day but I struck up a conversation with a family on
one side of me and a father/son on the other.
I was friendly with the deck hands and even a guy from Arkansas who
asked for my number. This is a situation which usually would
have intimidated me, especially talking to the men because they were all
pretty attractive, but once we started talking they were just as nice back to me as I was to them.
I’m starting to feel a little more
comfortable with this new way of doing things.
No more looking where I’m going, instead I’m going to start looking at
the people around me.
