Smurf Legs

The thought didn't cross my mind that blue tights and white shoes might resemble Smurfs when I left my apartment that morning, but it definitely popped up later. I've added the idea of being Smurfette as a Halloween costume to the back of my brain now. I can also tell you that having electric blue legs gets you stared at. A lot. Which is pretty darned amusing!

I've been having a wonderful week, even if the weather does feel a bit like Mother Nature is going through menopause... We keep having freakishly warm days, like hot flashes! On Monday I went for a walk along the Ottawa river and it was so warm and lovely out that I didn't even need a jacket, but the last few days have been windy and bitter in comparison. Today's another weird warm day!

 

The recent week has brought me close to new people in my life and I'm exploring some really deep, genuine connections. It feels like I'm 'leveling up' in terms of my social abilities, and finally attracting the kind of people I want in my life. Positive, open, caring, honest, selfless people. On two separate occasions this week I've been told that it's amazing how laid back and understanding I am, and how amazing my willingness to see others' view points and take the time to actually listen and hear someone out really is. I still have a long way to go before I'm satisfied with the way I interact with others, but I'm very pleased with the recent advances! I feel like I'm finally getting back everything I've been putting out, and it's just encouraging me to give out even more love and friendship and understanding.

I've got my belly dance class this evening and then my friend Laura and I - who a few months ago was a stranger in class to whom I bravely introduced myself - are going to go enjoy a pitcher afterward. I've also got my mind on some tasty tacos and poutine too, I think! It'll be great to catch up on our weeks; I have plenty of happy things to share with her. I hope you're all having a great week. Cheers!
