I discovered that one of my old co-workers (from back in TX) reads my blog. Nothing scandalous about that as she is a friend and I miss her. I just forget sometimes how much exposure my blog gets or can get.
I always think of my life as pretty mundane and boring. And it probably is in the scope of things. However, I’ve realized that I live a certain way or have done things that others only dream of. I still have a hard time wrapping my head around that one.
I’m definitely an “out there” person. Meaning when you meet me in any sort of extended setting, you usually come away remembering the experience. (good or bad) I don’t think I’ve ever been shy. I’m told I have an infectious energy that people attrack too. Maybe?
I think it has more to do with my being so open. I’m down right friendly unless given a reason not to be. And having survived some very ugly and painful life lessons, I have a different perspective on life. I guess I don’t have the normal shields that you encounter in most people. That’s what I think attracks most people to me. (or repels sometimes. I’m not so egotistical to think everyone likes me.)
So, of course, my blog becomes a natural extension of that. I’m glad folks like it. If you come away laughing or learning, then it was worth the read.
