True Confessions


I'm an introvert. There, I said it, or typed it, rather. I was in Mexico for a couple of days for work - related things and came home earlier today. Exhausted. Ok, so I knew I was an introvert, but I didn't know I would be so tired. What's up with that? But, a pedicure, starbuck's and a two hour nap later, I'm.... well.... I'm ready for bed, that's what I am. It's not that I don't like meeting people. I do. Usually. There were some incredibly interesting people there this weekend and I enjoyed the opportunity to spend time getting to know them. And, I love the ocean. Really and truly love it. Having grown up very close to one, I was quite ready for a long walk on the beach and lots of time to listen instead of talk. There are so many little things to be thankful for over the last 48 hours, and I have offered thanksgiving for them all. Even for the reminder of who I am and how I'm wired. For whatever it's worth.

Well muchacha, I too am an introvert. I can totally relate to needing a nap after a pedicure and a coffee confection! We introverts can easily get caugth up with what is going on around us and we quickly find ourselves tuckered out. And what's the best way to recharge our batteries? Being alone. We must isolate ourselves from external stimuli. Enjoy your downtime my dear! There's no shame in being an introvert (says one introvert to another).

Thanks, you two... =)
Moni, no shame at all; I just forget sometimes how that fleshes out in the real world of my journey. But, I am incredibly grateful for the reminder.
Blessings to you.
