Today at work I had to give a presentation in which I was scared to death. One of my worst fears is speaking in front of a group of people and even though our group isn’t all that large, I was horrified at the thought of it. I persevered through and pulled it off with relative ease – a tight chest, voice that started off like a baby sheep crying and a small feeling of anger (I’m not sure why) when some lady asked me to talk louder. I just thought to myself, “If I speak any louder, I won’t be able to hear myself think.” I guess the slight anger towards her helped me get somewhat boisterous and pronounce my words more clearly. Now I just have to get through the next three and I will be fine!
Also, later today I have to undergo a medical procedure that isn’t too serious but I have a major fear of needles. I’m starting to sound like a wimp. I am pretty tough believe it or not! Anyways, this day is a real nail biter and I’m looking forward to a LONG weekend. At least now I can relax and enjoy the 4th without having to worry about these things. I’d like to go out of town but the thought of lying around and just enjoying the holiday would be nice as well. We’ll see…
I watched the Count of Monte Cristo last night and loved it!! There was a quote from the movie I’m trying to live up to today.
~ Life is a storm, my young friend. You will bask in the sunlight one moment, be shattered on the rocks the next.
What makes you a man is what you do when that storm comes. ~
I haven’t cried – yet. So far so good. Wish me luck.
